How to show username in URL?

How to show username in URL? was created by DanDigital
Does anyone know if it's possible to simplify the URL for a users profile??

For example

www.website.com/username

instead of the current long string?

Any help much appreciated.

There are HUGE discussions about this here. Just use the SEARCH function!

CB/Joomla golf site: www.thegolfspace.com
Geek/joomla site: www.tkserver.com

Check out my Joomla/CB projects:

* LIKE thumbs up system for "liking" content items
* Karma - CB user rating system
* Golf Score Tracker
* Jitter - status update system. "What's on your mind?"
* CB Author Plug - Shows CB author link and avatar in content items. J1.5 compatible and very customizable!

Found on my web site or in the Joomlapolis Directory !
