I've never actually used the K2 User Profiles previously and have run into a bit of an odd issue that is no doubt due to my own ignorance.

If I publish users from a usergroup with the K2 Users module, clicking the link through to their full user profile drops me back to the home page.

Unless I also have an article published and assigned to them - then I can click through to the user.

What am I missing?

Hello Kelsey,

Actually this was introduced in 2.7.0 as a spam blocking mechanism.
Users would register, fill their info with Cyalis and Viagra links, display their page which would hurt your site.

Now a user cannot have a page unless he has posted something.
I can send you the commit that blocked these pages if you are interested.

Ah - thanks Krikor... well it depends...

If I can get an answer on this one: www.joomlaworks.net/forum/k2-en/37358-add-dropdown-field-to-k2-user-profile?start=10#154588

Then I'll continue to use user profiles and need that update. Otherwise I'll need to switch to using articles for user pages.

I would opt in for items, you have waaay more control over them.
Think extrafields, galleries videos etc.

You're right. I played around with both and have come to the conclusion that it's easier to muck around with items instead.

At file components/com_k2/views/itemlist/view.html.php
if(count($items) == 0 && $task == 'user') {
$mainframe->redirect(JUri::root());
}
