I have access user profiles allowed for anonymous users but the only account that you can click on the name above a post and have it take you to there profile is the Admin.

Even logged in as admin other users post do not link there username to there account info.

no i did not. Maybe it would better help to explain that In your first post the information I focused on was

Even logged in as admin other users post do not link there username to there account info.

This is unexpected behavior and I can't reproduce it. I was trying to extract more information out of you. If it doesnt go to profiles (the expected behavior), where does it go ? does it go to a blank page ? does it not even try to connect ? does it go to an access denied page ? does your watchdog page say anything ? do you just remain on the same page, that you clicked on the author ?

you state its not going to the profile, but don't state where exactly its going.
have you viewed the page source of the page ? is the linke correct in the html ? this too will give hints as to what exactly may be the problem.

you need to be more verbose about what you are experiencing so that you can be better directed to a possible solution especially if you can't post a link so someone else can view page source and experience what you are experiencing.

you state

i do not get a error just missing a function.

I take this statement to mean, that you've had a look at the drupal code, and you are missing code from one of the files. If this is true, you can reupload the necessary file from a new download. It is not inconcieveable that a file gets corrupted during transfer now and again. I have a feeling however, that this is not what you mean. If this is not what you mean, then by all means please be more verbose in explaining and providing some diagnosis information from your end. Especially because you have not provided a link to your site so that others can visit and experience the same thing you are and begin to rule out possibilities.

A list of modules you are have installed and enabled is also useful in ruling in or out possibilities.

the remainder of the questions asked of you were relevant questions to what could lead to a solution. For user profiles to be able to be viewed all one must do is provide the access, you've stated you've already done this. The expected behavior is what you experience here on Drupal.org. That being the case, your situation is rare and could be specific to one or more of the questions asked.

some other things to look at. when you mouse over the author link, what url does it point to ?
Is authenticated users permissions set to view profiles also ?

first, thanks helping. you took allot of time to reply and i appreciate it.

some more detail.
PHP version 5.1.6
MySQL version 4.1.21-standard

mods.
blog
community_tags
gmap_location
gmap
image
menu
nodelimit
search
search_config
statistics
tagadelic
taxonomy

There is no mouse over, it looks like you should be able to click it or hold your mouse over the users name but behaves like a image. If i copy and past the line to a open office text doc it shows it as a link that is to the correct location /user/4.
I tryed it in firefox and ie. same problem.

I am creating a team page where I want to link to the user profile and allow non-logged users to access the user profile. Unfortunately this is ont happening. I can access the page with any authenticated user profile.

The site is - www.gmslegal.com.au
the link is in the Welcome menu called - Meet the team - http://gmslegal.com.au/?q=node/23

When they click on Meet the team the node page appears but the second link for example, - http://gmslegal.com.au/?q=user/5 - to the profile gives me a Page not Found error.

Access user profiles in the user module access control is checked for all user types but the other options in that block are are off.

Thanks in advance

I found out that if I created the account the "view user profile" link on the node snippet works. If it is somebody that signed up on there own the name is blue but the mouse over has nothing and it is not a link.

Check your user access control settings for "user profile", and ensure that all users have a value for the "access" field in the users table.

Just noticed that anonymous users can only access user profiles of users that had both registered and come back to the site by logging on. I find that a lot of people register and have the word "never" flagged as their time of last access, for some reason these user's user profiles cannot be accessed by anonymous visitors. This seems odd to me.

The problem occurs for me with the links in the "Whose New" block pointing to a "Page Not Found" when an anonymous user clicks on them. I will work around this by changing the criteria of a new person; from someone who is merely registered to someone who has both registered and come back to log on.

EDIT:
Here is the SQL query I am using for the "Whose New" block:

SELECT uid FROM {users} WHERE status != 0 AND access != 0 ORDER BY uid DESC
