Suggestion: Friendlier urls for user page

[revolver]

I don't know what would be involved in changing the urls for the user pages ... i'm guessing it would require some reworking of the pagination system which probably isn't trivial. But i'll throw this on the table nonetheless ...

Currently the friendly urls for a user page look like this:

pligg/user/view/history/login/Bob

when you are accessing a sub page of results it looks like this ...

pligg/user/page/2/history/Bob

But ... Ideally the url would look like this ...

pligg/user/Bob/history/2

This way there is consistency no matter what page you are looking at and a user can easily guess how to create meaningful user urls and even chop off bits of the url and still get a proper page displayed (ie: pligg/user/Bob and pligg/user/Bob/History both produce real pages.



with this. First, the user name should be first foll

For a site where the user page is not very important and doesn't get a lot of action, this isn't a big deal. But for social networks, blogs and other types of sites that stray away from Digg clones, the url for a user page is typically friendlier and the user name is usually at the front of the chain ...

pligg/user/Bob/history

I'm guessing there's a reason why the url is the way it is (maybe to make pagination easier?) but as Pligg is evolving into a true CMS, user urls are going to become more and more important.
