Custom User Profile URL?
Is it possible to use the username as the profile/page URL? Such as: www.mysite.com/usr/username
I think I saw it somewhere in the settings once but I don't remember where.

We discussed it here - https://una.io/cmts.php?sys=bx_forum&id=1154&cmt_id=4248
In short, we are not very keen on usernames in URLs, but we do plan hashes in URLs.

Thanks! That's a really helpful response.

Did anything improve on this topic? Currently profile links are like https://website.com/page/view-persons-profile?id=1 (which is too long).
The above article stated:
"After the planned update, we'd have URLs like, say, "site.com/page/2a37s89" or similar. I believe that'd do the job."
Will that still be done?

just found and giving information.
what about wild card subdomains for profile /account like
please chk post affilaite , wordpress and jrox giving dynamic subdomaiins as user profile link or affiliate link or pages
i found the following at jrox.com
Dynamic Subdomain Affiliate Link Requirements:
Access to your DNS records
You will need to be able to edit your DNS or name server records to enable dynamic subdomains.
Access to your Apache Web Server Configuration File
You will need to be able to edit your Apache's httpd.conf file to enable dynamic subdomains.
Steps to Enable Dynamic Subdomain Affiliate Links:
Edit Your Name Server / DNS Records - You will need to enter a wildcard subdomain entry for your DNS records. If you use BIND as your name server, it would go as the last line on your DNS record as follows:
@ IN SOA ns1.jrox.com. admin.jrox.com. (
4 ; serial
8H ; refresh
2H ; retry
2W ; expire
1D ; default_ttl
)
IN A 192.168.1.233
IN NS ns1.jrox.com.
IN NS ns2.jrox.com.
www IN A 192.168.1.233
* IN A 192.168.1.233
Edit Your Apache httpd.conf file - You will need to edit your httpd.conf file and add a ServerAlias entry near the bottom of your Virtual Host record as follows:
<VirtualHost 255.255.255.0>
DocumentRoot /home/username/public_html
ServerName www.domain.com
ServerAlias domain.com
ServerAlias *.domain.com
</VirtualHost>
Set the Affiliate Link Type - Click on Settings > Global Configuration > Marketing > Affiliate Marketing > Affiliate Link Type > Subdomain
Reserve subdomains - If you have subdomains you don't want users to signup for, enter them in Settings > Global Configuration > Marketing > Affiliate Marketing > Affiliate Link Type > Restrictred Subdomains
and even it can apply to organizations alsoregards

Subdomains can be useful for some setups where each profile is an isolated environment, but for a typical site it can be a nightmare. Search engines will treat each profile as a separate site, some content will be duplicated across main domain and subdomains due to browsing pages, whole relative links structure of the site will go belly up, ... oh some many things would happen it’s hard to even think about it :D
