#4468 new Enhancement
Group blog listings author links don't go where you'd expect

Description
In the "All site blogs" listing, group blog posts show no indication of the group. The author link takes you to a completely different blog (the user's).
It may make more sense for the link to point to the container's blog rather than always the owner's, but the link text being the owner might make that confusing to. I generally expect a linked user name to go to the user's profile.
Maybe instead of "By Jane Doe ..." it should be "By Jane Doe in Awesome Dog Pics" with Jane linked to her profile and the group name linked to the group blog.

If there's a set of UI/UX guidelines, one could be "if link text equals user name, href must be user profile"

UI/UX and language guidelines are on my todo for 1.9.

Replying to brettp:

Might I suggest markdown instead of .txt? https://github.com/Elgg/Elgg/pull/202

If someone fixes by 1.9, great. Otherwise, scheduled for 1.10
There are lots of places where clicking an author name takes you somewhere other than the person's profile. I've always found this terribly confusing.
