Member profile vanity URLs / access member profiles via user name only

[g0rn]

In vBulletin, you can access user profile by either visiting /member.php?u=123456 or /member.php?username=john
As far as I can see, in Xenforo you have to know user id, not only username (you can use either /members/john.123456/ or /members/123456/ but not /members/john/).
So, I would like to have a possibility to access profile by simply substituting username to the url.

So I made some tests and actually this can be easy implemented.

Works here!

Simple is the best! I'll give it a try.

Something very similar to this can be achieved with my vanity names add-on, just so those interested in this are aware.
