Wolf Posted January 17, 2009 Share Posted January 17, 2009 I am starting to wish profiles (like myspace) could have a friendly url attached to them. I don't like the idea of using memberIDs for profiles, as that gets too confusing. I think it should be possible that the login/username is converted into a profile link. Spaces can be replaced with _ or a similar character. I think that would be more user-friendly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Posted January 17, 2009 Share Posted January 17, 2009 What happens then when the member changes their display name? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted January 17, 2009 Share Posted January 17, 2009 Use a custom defined one like IP.Blog does. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wolf Posted January 24, 2009 Share Posted January 24, 2009 What happens then when the member changes their display name? Nothing, it would be done by login-name or a 1-time settable url Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FCB-Mo Posted January 24, 2009 Share Posted January 24, 2009 how so messy and unnecessary is that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Posted January 25, 2009 Share Posted January 25, 2009 Hmmm... the way blog does it is it actually writes the files into the blog directory - that could get messy unless it was something like yoursite.com/profile/your-name, but that might defeat the purpose.
