When I click on my "Insights Author" badge in my profile page, I go to a page with the following message:
I don't have a plan to write anything for now, but this doesn't feel right!

We had that for awhile, but there is an issue with members that have spaces. Spaces aren't allowed in wordpress accounts so it would become a broken link. I couldn't find a workaround so I removed the link.robphy said:

Is it more than replacing all spaces? str_replace(" ","-",$username)

I'd have to create a little addon as that isn't allowed in templates, but I might rather do an htaccess rewrite.mfb said:

I just figured it out! The problem is, I changed my username. So when I click on my badge, my current PF username is sent but my wordpress username is still my old PF username.Shayan.J said:

At the moment it's in the nav inside Insights. Do you think there should be one for the forums drop down?Borg said:

I continued to look around and saw that it was on the Articles page. So, if even I could find it, it's probably easy to find.

I have redone the menu and categories for Insights. The old way you could either select a category like math or a format like tutorial. The problem was you couldn't select math tutorials. Now you can!

Insights is such a great resource. I hope everyone is reading and sharing what they find!

What is the policy regarding an Insight submission that covers similar ground (perhaps with similarity in language and style) as the author's blog, or a document that they have posted to arXiv etc?

No problem whatsoever as long as the content is not exactly the same.Swamp Thing said:
