 * Hello Jordi, I am currently using your wonderful plugin on one of my web sites
   and have a few feature requests that I hope you would consider implementing some
   day.
 * – Not to use a member’s username as part of their profile link. I think using
   their login name could pose a bit of a security risk. Perhaps the member could
   pick another unique name to use, or that it uses their full name (with a workaround
   for duplicate names). (I think this is a duplicate request to [Tracker item 27](http://tracker.alkivia.org/view.php?id=27).)
 * – To be able to have view counters for a member’s profile and gallery images.
 * – To have an option to upload a photograph of the member that does not get included
   in the gallery, it would be separate, and just used for their profile page and
   optionally, their avatar.
 * Thank you so much for all of your hard work!!
 * ~
    Shannon

 * I would suggest you to submit this questions to the tracker at [http://tracker.alkivia.org](http://tracker.alkivia.org),
   so we can follow and plan them.
 * I agree that using the username as a part of the profile link is not so good.
   But it is the only unique name that WordPress provides and the only one we can
   work.
 * Using the username in the URL’s is the only way WordPress itself manages it (
   For example when creating author pages, WP uses always the username). This is
   why most plugins and themes (including those from Automattic), do it that way
   and show the username in the url.
 * This is not only with WordPress. Any free mail account uses your email as username,
   and your email address is also exposed (Google accounts or Windows Live accounts
   also do it this way).
 * So, it is a common practice, normally because is the only unique fixed information
   we have about a user.
