First, I saw Topanga's post here: http://forums.b2evolution.net/viewtopic.php?t=4217

Then this post: http://forums.b2evolution.net/viewtopic.php?t=3097&highlight=profile

Frankly, I think doing something along the lines of the second post is far more appropriate for a profile page. The technical documentation seems to be down, so I came here looking for help.

Is there anyway to get author info like there is for post info?

something like:

if( isset($AuthorList) ) while( $Item = $AuthorList->get_item() )

and then call the author's info into an _about.php page? this way you could automate the process of gathering info for multiple authors and allow them to edit their info easily from the backend.
