   hi

   i'm working on an author profile page, where i'd like to include the author name, description, and (links to) their posts.

   i have an author.php page with:
   

   <?php
   if(isset($_GET['author_name'])) :
   $curauth = get_userdatabylogin($author_name);
   else :
   $curauth = get_userdata($author);
   endif;
   ?>
   .
   .author name, author description
   .
   <!-- The Loop -->
   <?php if ( have_posts() ) : ?>
   <?php while ( have_posts() ) : the_post(); ?>
   <li>
   <a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent Link: <?php the_title(); ?>">
   <?php the_title(); ?></a>,
   <?php the_time('d M Y'); ?> in <?php the_category('&');?>
   </li>
   <?php endwhile; ?>
   <?php else: ?>
   <h2 class="center">Nope</h2>
   <?php endif; ?>
   <!-- End Loop -->

   this works fine when the user has posted stuff, but when they haven't it displays the 'Not found...' i.e. the comment i have in my else statement on my index.php.

   any one know why it doesn't display the user profile, followed by a 'nope'?

   thanks in advance,

   b9
