**UPDATE**
I figured it out from a post i just found. In the components-->com_comprofiler-->router.php files is some lines between 26 and 34 that can be removed to show only the user ID instead of their login name.
Hello,
I am wondering how to get the USERNAME out of the url for a profile. The list is set to public viewing, and having the username (half of the login info) public is wrong.
I looked and looking for an answer online, and in these forums, and in the Joomla back end, to no avail. Is this even possible?
Thanks!
