    I think I may have found an issue.

    If I change my display name from "CarlJParker" to "Carl Parker -- MSFT", the community content view on my profile page reports "No library contributions found".

    I can confirm that - I had to rename my Profile display name to match the display name I used when I wrote added my Community Content sections or they didn't show up.

    You are correct that the two names need to be in synch, but the synch is supposed to be taken care of for you. I will bug this.

     Carl - since you're a MSFT employee, you should also be using the internal tool for associating your Live ID to your domain login so that the "MSFT" designation is generated by the system instead of by the "honor system" :) See the mail I just sent you.
