Okay I think I must be missing something obvious..

 I Create a DNN page with a link on it called "Test".

I Create another DNN page called "My Profile"  to which the above link points.

On this page I drop a ViewProfile module and I set the template to display the user's Display Name.

 When I got to the Test page and click on the link it redirects me to the My Profile page but nothing displays.

Then I tack an ?&UserID=1 on the end of the URL in the link on the Test page and when I follow the link I see the SuperUser Account display name shown!

 So it would appear the ViewProfile module needs "context" passed in from the URL as a query string?  I would have thought it could infer the context from the currently logged in user??

If this is indeed required, then how can I formulate my link on the Test page to add the UserID of the current user generically (as opposed to hardcoding '1' as I have in this example)?  I have tried to tack on ?UserID=[USER:ID]  but no substitution is happening.

 I just don't understand how I am suppose to work with the ViewProfile module.

Thanks,
Rod
