  Hello,

  This forum is for discussions and questions regarding profiles and Microsoft's recognition system on the MSDN and TechNet sites. It is not for products/technologies.

  As it's off-topic here, I am moving the question to the Suggestions and Feedback for the Forumsforum.

  Karl

  I agree, we do need to have ability to easily view Gallery contributions or TechNet articles or blogs by clicking on the User's profile.

   provide explicit search by contributor's name capabilities.

  This is possible to do currently. As an example, this is a search for my name, which returns the single script I've uploaded to the repository (plus a mention in TNJMAN's script description):

  http://gallery.technet.microsoft.com/site/search?query=mike%20laughlin&f[0].Value=mike%20laughlin&f[0].Type=SearchText&ac=5

  I do agree that this should be made easier to find directly from a user's profile though.

  BTW, interestingly I see 2 votes for this discussion when I view it in the forum but when I open it I see only one message voted (the first one which I voted).

  Could be some delay or refresh issue. I see both votes now.
