If you're thinking of creating a "social network" or a site where users can create content the views module is a must. You certainly want the users to have a profile page and most likely you want to customize the content on that profile page. In this tutorial I am using Panels 3, views and the tracker module so that users visiting a profile can see the content the user have created.
First I'm gonna activate the tracker module and then enable the tracker-view that comes with the views module.
1. Activate the tracker module (drupal core section)
2. Goto views and enable the tracker view
3. Clone the tracker view and give it a unique name.
4. Select the fields that you want to display. And click save. Thats it.
5. Goto Site Building - Panels and either enable or edit the User Profile Template.
6. Add Content where you want it to be.
7. Select Views from the menu at left and find click the "usertracker" view that you just created.
8. I will give it my the default display.
9. Select User being viewed and click finish.
10. Go and visit a user and if he has created content it will be diplayed like this (maybe).

great website
I was wondering if the tracker would show private posts from private groups as well or does that stay private

Private groups and posts within a private group will only be visible to group members :)
