custom URL format? 投稿者: Donald Scott Alexander
|
|---|
Hi -
I remember a few years back there was an option to use a custom URL format, which included your User Name instead of your ID.
So, instead of something like this:
http://www.proz.com/profile/123456789
you could use something like this:... See more Hi -

http://www.proz.com/profile/johnsmith
Is this option still available?
I have been testing the custom URL format, and it actually seems to work sometimes - but only when I'm logged in. If I'm not logged in and attempt to access my profile using the custom URL format, it says that this ID does not exist.
(Actually, strangely enough, I just previewed this post, and tested the two links above to see what happens.. and the link to "johnsmith" actually goes to *my* profile page! So I guess if I'm logged in, *any* profile URL ending with a bunch of letters sends me to my own profile.)
Thanks for any help!

Hello Scott,
First, I would like to confirm that any link that begins with http://www.proz.com/profile/ and is followed by a combination of letters will take you back to your own profile.
Now, regarding changing the URL to your profile, all members have the option to select among 3 different URL formats for their profiles. This can be found going to the "Settings" tab on your profil... See more Hello Scott,

Now, regarding changing the URL to your profile, all members have the option to select among 3 different URL formats for their profiles. This can be found going to the "Settings" tab on your profile and then going to the "Search engine settings" section, or by following this link: http://www.proz.com/?sp=profile&sp_mode=settings&sp_submode=se
This allows you to change the "profile" in the URL to either "interpreter" or "translator".
Hope this explains! Please let me know if you have any other questions.
Best regards,

Dear Beatriz,
I'm afraid it is not possible to personalize the format of your profile URL to include your name. You can find the available URL display options for members in the "Preferred URL format" of your Search Engine Settings in, https://www.proz.com/?sp=profile&sp_mode=settings&sp_submode=se
I hope this clarifies.

I appreciate your time to answer me, but it's really impossible to change that number.
I opened the link you sent me but didn't find any answer to my question.
Anyway I appreciate it.
Beatriz.

Dear Beatriz,
Thank you for your patience. I appreciate the opportunity to clarify this further.
Actually, the number in your profile URL cannot be changed, as it serves as the unique identifier for your ProZ.com account. However, you do have the option to customize the Title displayed in your profile, which can be optimized for search engines.
In your Search Engine Settings, you can:
