I'm just starting to use this module now, so I am new and the documentation seems to be for v3.01.09 so not quite the latest.
What I'd like to do is to be able to link the Author to a profile using their UserID.  Is there a token available?
Expecting to be able to do something like this in the template:
<a href="/Profile/ID/[AUTHORID]/Default.aspx" title="Profile - [AUTHOR]">[AUTHOR]</a>
Is there a way this can be done?

Hmm... that's not going to be easy because, currently, there is not a Repository token that exposes the UserID of the Author, and I believe you need the UserID in order to construct a link to the user's profile page.  There may be a way to accomplish what you want via some javascript/jquery that you can embed in your template files, to take the author's name and find their ID.  Off the top of my head, I don't know of way to do that, but someone else reading this might.

Hi

I am using MyTokens from DNNSharp.com. The module compliments the core DNN Tokens and allows you to retrieve anything at all from the DB and turn it into a usable token. I have tested it with a number of the DNN modules and every module that supports normal tokens works with my tokens. It is very effective and well written. I must also say that DNNSharp offers the best support of any DNN developer that I have come across. 

Regards
Richard
