You're supposed to be able to look up a member's WA Space using the Search WA Spaces tool in WA Spaces, but it doesn't work.  You can still find them with this workaround.

You just found a great post from another member on the forum and you want to check out their WA Space profile.  You can click on their name, but that only takes you to their forum profile page, not their WA Spaces profile.

Here's how you do it:

1. Highlight and copy their forum username.
2. Go back to the main Wealthy Affiliate site.
3. Select "WA Gold" under "My WA" on the top menu bar.
4. Scroll down until you see the "Send Some Gold" box.  (Don't worry ... you won't actually send any gold.)
5. Click in the "Send Some Gold" box and paste the member's forum username into it.
6. Click the "Find" button.
7. The member's username will show up right below the "Send Some Gold" box as a link.  Click on the link and it will take you to their WA Space profile page.

If you get a "Sorry, no WA users was found" message to the right of the box, try taking out any spaces before or after the username.  It's easy to accidentally copy an extra space.
