A uniform resource locator (abbreviated URL ; also known as a Web address , particularly when used with HTTP) is a specific character string that constitutes a reference to a resource Most web browsers display the URL of a web page above the page in an address bar . A typical URL might look like: http://www.example.org/wiki/Main_Page
Source: Wikipedia
Basically, the web address.
When Randomex says:
Newbies, remember to replace spaces in names with a dash [-] in
the profile URL – otherwise, you’ll just get an error page.
he is referring to:
If you click on “catch yourself” or “dunno what name”‘s, you will get:
bbPress – Error
User not found.
Back to YWN Coffee Room.
and the URL will be:
catch yourself:
http://www.theyeshivaworld.com/coffeeroom/profile/catch%20yourself
dunno what name:
http://www.theyeshivaworld.com/coffeeroom/profile/dunno%20what%20name
Notice the “%20” instead of spaces in the username.
catch yourself:
http://www.theyeshivaworld.com/coffeeroom/profile/catch-yourself
dunno what name:
http://www.theyeshivaworld.com/coffeeroom/profile/dunno-what-name
and now it will give you the correct page.
To go to any member’s profile page, change “catch-yourself” or dunno-what-name” to a different username. For example, my profile is:
http://www.theyeshivaworld.com/coffeeroom/profile/sayididit
Anything else?
