IP board profile URL

[Foubu]

I read a blog post of IP Board.

Stating:

"Even better, if you can manage your own .htaccess files, you can make use of the mod_rewrite functionality. For convenience, the mod_rewrite code is generated for you. The end result looks like this:"

www.board.com/forums/topic/99/my-test-topic
www.board.com/forums/user/30/matt-mecham


Why isn't it possible to just have a users url like this: http://board.com/matt or (subdomein) http://www.matt.domain.com

Is this possible or i'm a dreaming :whistle:

Many Thanks for ur feedback.

Well aside from the massive API and pain in the arse required to make it so your generate a SubDomain (which requires DNS Creation...) for each profile, its pointless..

You can also customize the FURL structure (there's a few documents in the Client Area & Support Areas)

Here's a tut for blogs: http://community.invisionpower.com/resources/documentation/index.html/_/tutorials/advanced-customisations/customising-urls-r275

Would like to see one for member profile urls. Maybe I'm missing it in the docs.
