Tested with vb 3.6.7 and 3.6.8
Tested on IE7 and FF2
Ok lets say your site is:
http://Example.com/Forums/
And the path to members profiles is even longer:
http://Example.com/Forums/member.php?=member.php?username=ExampleUserName
Well lets give your members a smaller and easy link to remember.
How about:
http://Example.com/Username
Oh ya thats alot better huh?
Ok well this is how you do it.
Add this to the .htaccess in root of example.com
Replace this:
http://Example.com/Forums/
With the link to your forums.
All members and guests will be able to go to:
http://Example.com/ThereUserName
And automatically be forwarded to the profile of the user name they entered after the site link.
Thats it just one easy .htaccess file edit and your done.
NOTE:
Want to use a diffrent domain like:
http://ExampleTwo.com/UserName
Just add the .htaccess file to that domain instead
just make sure that whats in red below links to your site
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://Example.com/Forums/member.php?username=$1
Enjoy and click install if you use this mod.
Also Some Credit to Eikinskjaldi for pointing me in the right way to get this working.
