   i am using the the_author() tag under the iterate loop.
   which returns me to the name of the author.

   is there a tag that i could use to get the author's user id.

   I am using buddypress and want the coauthors to be linked to the buddy press member page and not the author post archive-

   here is what i have got for now -

   <?php
   $i = new CoAuthorsIterator();
   print $i->count() == 1 ? 'Author: ' : 'Authors: ';
   $i->iterate(); ?>
       <a href="http://intranet.nfshost.com/members/<?php the_author(); ?>"><?php the_author(); ?></a>
   <?php
   while($i->iterate()){
       print $i->is_last() ? ' and ' : ', '; ?>
       <a href="http://intranet.nfshost.com/members/<?php the_author();  ?>"><?php the_author(); ?></a>

   Please help

   If you're on 2.8+, you could try using the_author_meta instead of the_author().

   Alternatively (though not recommended), you could try the following:

   global $authordata;
   echo $authordata->ID;
