Hi, I read through the last panel problem, but i still can't solve mines. I have no idea what the problem could be. The profile shows normal after the panel is there. I noticed i have the profiles as user/1 but if I attempt to change node/% to user/% still doesn't work and all i get page cannot be found. HELP PLEASE?

First of all, if you take over node/%, you can probably see the panel if you go to a profile (content of the type profile). There are different ways of finding a profile:
For instance: go to /admin/content/node and click on any profile there. You will most probably see the panel page.

If you want to take over the My Account page (which we are not doing in the book btw), you can fill in user/% in the panel, BUT you also need to change the content now. You cannot anymore put a Node on the panel, you will need to create a view that displays the node first and work with arguments. So try first, with a simple block only on the panel (any random block), to see if this is what you want and if it is taken over.

Greetings!

For some reason no matter where I tried the node/% overide does not view in the profile, but what I have done is added user/% then a argument userID and in the content userprofile. The problem left with now is that I can' I cant seem to view my avatar and can't use comments? Was I wrong to use User/%?

Indeed, taking over user/% is not necessarily easier. That's why in the book, I have just placed a link to the profile on the My Account page.
Whenever you search for profiles, you end up at node/%, not at user/%. Only in rare cases, if you click on username itself (not a node title from a profile, which just looks like a username), you see user/%.

That being said. If you want to have an avatar at the user/%:
-in your avatar view: use an argument user ID
-and filter on content type profile.
-still in the view: tell the views pane to use the argument from panel context user.

That should do the trick.

thanks I will try it out, but I need to actually know how to do it the correct way. I don't know if I'm one of those rare cases as everytime i click on the user it has the "user/? what do I have to do so I can use node. Pathauto was enabled but now is disabled but still does not help as everytime a user is created they are saved as a user/?. What can I do?

The standard address for My Account is user/%, so that's normal.

In your views, whenever you are working with profiles, use the field node title instead of user name.

Ok I finally got what you saying cause when you go directly to the node the panel is there, but what I wanna know on your site we click on the user and the panel still shows up with the url profile (username) on my site when i click on the user it shows up normal view without the panel. I am doing something wrong or is that how it suppose to be? I'm so sorry I know I must be irritating you by now, but i'm grateful for all your help.

Actually, if you click on a username, for instance, in this comment, you will go to the My Account page, which displays a teaser of the profile.
