XF 1.1 Username Directory

[zenhyi]

Is it possible to make user profile directory /username ?

This is actually very very important, because I am trying to create a social network type of forum. Instead of people finding their profiles with member.php?=3 or etc. It would make their lives so much easier if it was just http://www.yourdomain.com/username

I hope this is a possibility.

In the default software, no, its not. Doing such a thing would cause quite a few issues and would require a lot of fundamental changes. It may be accomplished via an add-on, but with quite a bit of work. You would also have to guarantee different usernames.

I see. Thats unfortunate.

It is possible but requires custom programming. Within the default XenForo 'members' route you might consider creating an addon to extend XenForo_Route_Prefix_Members. That would allow you to search by username. You should post a request:
