Might be nice to give Ultimate users (or Supreme, but Ultimate makes more sense imo) the ability to create vanity URLs (e.g mc-market.org/members/User). It would be a lot cleaner and more memorable than the current 6-digit code system. Not expecting this to be top priority, but it would be a nice addition to the site once more pressing matters have been taken care of.

High performance, consistent uptime and fast support. Minecraft hosting that just works.

You would have to block some urls (e.g they can't have the vanity url of mc-market.org/forums or mc-market.org/members as they're already taken), but it would be a lot cleaner and more memorable than the current 6-digit code system. Not expecting this to be top priority, but it would be a nice addition to the site once more pressing matters have been taken care of.
This would extremely mess up the database.
Hence not only mess it up but make it worse for handling users and so.

Possibly mc-market.org/user/Vanity?

Then, as Proximity/0n said, the URL could even be mc-market.org/members/... so that the database isn't messed up. As for making it worse to handle users, I don't see how so. I'm not saying that mc-market.org/members/###### needs to be disabled; all links will continue functioning properly, as there aren't any /members/ABCDEFG to overlap with. The database will still use the number IDs, but users can use /members/name when linking other people to their profile and such.

This would look a lot cleaner to advertise my Mc-Market account on other platforms. If they added this to Ultimate I'd definitely consider reinvesting into it.

How about Lemon's vanity link mc-market.org/lemon is already taken
then:
mc-market.org/members/Lemon
mc-market.org/user/Lemon
mc-market.org/name/Lemon

This is an idea we have been planning, but it's really cool to see there is already a version for XF2, thanks for the heads up with that Bosny.

We won't be custom developing vanity URLs for XF1 at the moment, but once we update for sure.

I'll move this to pending, thanks for the suggestion.

Ultimate users now have the option to set a couple of vanity URLs for threads/resources they own and their profile. It's pretty neat!

https://mc-market.org/mick

I'll mark this as implemented, thanks
