In summary, an "Insights author link" is a hyperlink that leads to the profile or page of the author of a particular insight or article. It can be broken if there is a space character within the link, but it can be fixed by removing the space character and ensuring that the link is correctly formatted. The main consequence of a broken "Insights author link" is that readers will not be able to access the author's profile or page, which may affect the credibility and visibility of the author and their work. To prevent this from happening in the future, it is important to carefully check and test all links before publishing and to use a link management tool or plugin.

Yeah there is a bug with the bridge we are using to connect the forum to wordpress. Wordpress doesn't allow spaces in usernames, but the bridge still creates them. It is a known problem and hopefully fixed soon.
