XF 2.0 How to hide user number?

[Dynamic]

Hi guys,

Just wondering if there is a way to hide the .x number in the url for usernames. The reason I would like to do this is so nobody knows how many members are registered at the forum. This only needs to be font end, so perhaps a .htaccess line will do the trick?

Cheers!

Typically, the guy running the forum and nobody else.

However, when you're running a small site - or a paid membership site - especially where quality is far more important than quantity - you may not want people to be biased against you for having a very small registration count.

Bigger is not always better in some situations and some people can pre-judge based on their expectations.
