Topic: Adding Login to Profile's URL

URL currently generated for users public profiles are like: http://fluxbb.org/forums/user/n/

Keeping the ID as the key, but adding a trailing romanized name to the URL should not be complicated and would help search engines ranking and overall visibility.

For example instead of http://fluxbb.org/forums/user/2/ we would have http://fluxbb.org/forums/user/2-smartys/

Re: Adding Login to Profile's URL

or http://fluxbb.org/forums/user/2/smartys/

Re: Adding Login to Profile's URL

Less logical, but more consistent with the rest of the scheme yes.

Re: Adding Login to Profile's URL

agreed with that. thought i still dont know why do we want to optimize profiles in search engine.

Who cares about logic? It's all about the prettiness smile

Re: Adding Login to Profile's URL

URL scheme was never about prettiness. It's about human readability, search engines accessibility and slight optimization.

http://fluxbb.org/forums/user/2/smartys/ imply smartys is a subgroup, subfolder or sub-something of the userid 2, which he's not. But that's not a big deal.

Re: Adding Login to Profile's URL

and "http://fluxbb.org/forums/topic/2108/add … files-url/" doesn't imply the same thing?

Re: Adding Login to Profile's URL

Hence my: Less logical, but more consistent with the rest of the scheme yes.

Less logical in your personal opinion.
