Is there anyway to have the userids mapped to the usernames maybe have something like domain.com/username to show the a users profile. Even if it was a subfolder like domain.com/user/username something along those lines. I tried searching but I havent seen it on the site.

Sorry but i do not understand

I use a commercial product that does it, plus a lot of other things. You should be able to do it with a .htaccess with code similar to the above.

Search for mod_rewrite and you will probably find a few posts about this.

yeah thanks guys I did this last night. mod_rewrite pointed me in the right searching direction. I added this to my .htaccess RewriteRule ^members/(.*)$ member.php?username=$1 and it works great. In the MEMBERINFO template I had to add a / before everything so that it would point back to the root
