When i log in as one user and click on the name at the top of the page i get a "Object reference not set to an instance of an object" error. It only happens with one user, and i can view that page just fine when i am not logged in, or logged in as someone else.

The error occurs in the following line of code

<%#CommunityServer.Discussions.Components.ForumFormatter.FormatPrivateMessageRecipients((CommunityServer.Discussions.Components.PrivateMessage)Container.DataItem)%>

In case it helps, here's the stack trace

More than likely, you site is running a release before CS 2007.1 and you sent a PM to or got a PM from a user that was renamed or deleted.  This was a bug that was fixed in CS 2007.1, so I would recommend upgrading to the latest version.

The original issue and the code fix was posted here: http://communityserver.org/forums/p/490548/594212.aspx#594212

I just checked, we are running 2007, Service Pack 1.

But i recently did purge a lot of users from the system, so that would make sence.
