Maybe instead of using the POTY stack in the banner, we should create and use a WLM stack. At least by clicking the link you'd be in closer contact with the author info. On the other hand, this really is a small pic, so we shouldn't get carried away, but we have to be very careful on how we follow

Thanks for this feedback. A user subpage sounds good but the issue is how to create that from the app. What I am imagining is adding a category to those specific uploads, something like, "To be replaced on desktop." This will help users find them later and would provide some indicator to admins.
