By Hi, I have a page that uses a user ID instead of their name in the URL... we want the user name in the URL instead because it's much less cryptic. Why does this happen, how do we fix it, how do we prevent it from happening in the future? The page is at http://www.thislearning.com/2088/crayola_experience_easton_pa The settings for that page also shows it was submitted by a user, and correctly includes their user name there (just not in the actual page URL). Screenshot for settings:
Thx! KV
By default, user submitted pages include the NationBuilder Signup ID of the supporter that submitted the page. If the supporter has specified a 'slug' for their Public Profile it will appear in the URL instead of their Signup ID.
Note: Public Profile slugs are automatically set to match a signup's Twitter Username, if one is present in their profile.

If you’d like to update that URL to reflect their new public profile slug, open that page’s “Settings” tab and resave it. This will force an update to the URL that will now include the update public profile slug.
BTW if this or any user later adds a slug/username, either directly through NB or via Twitter, will the NB page URLs that previously used their user ID… like pages we previously shared via social media that used their NB user ID before they added a name/slug… continue to work as well? Or would we have to republish/reshare those pages all over again?
Thx again KV
