"by <user>" link: 404 #20

In the forum message list, for each post entry, where it says "by ", clicking the user's name link gives a 404.

I've made the link point to the start of the thread itself for now. Later it would IMO be nice to have some kind of profile page for each user, but until then this seemed to be the only sane option apart from completely removing the link.

That's a reasonable choice. But why not link to the gravatar page, as you do inside the posts? Notice that the gravatar can be filled with information like the user's homepage, email, etc. For instance, see my gravatar page: http://www.gravatar.com/186595d443d24380c366e93823c03605 . Later you can link to vibenews-specific profile pages, when those exists; if the user does not have a profile then it could fallback to the gravatar.

I've chosen the thread for now because that's what is done for the "last post" link. But apart from the additional space requirements it would indeed be more logical to let both point to the Gravatar page and add the post title of the last post as a link. I'll do that as a second step. It might also be nice to display little gravatar pictures in the thread overview.
