URLs to hub pages

I don't know if anybody else has to make URLs to hub entries now and then, but I have to do it all the time and I got tired of the noisy syntax:

http://www.byond.com/hub/hub.cgi?hub=Dantom.Hublib

(Even worse is using the syntax employed by the hub internally where you have to know the numerical id of the hub entry.)

Fortunately, a little webserver magic has made it possible to do it like this:

http://www.byond.com/hub/Dantom/Hublib

Please use that syntax from now on when making links to hub entries. I'll switch over the hub itself at some point too.

But what about urls like: http://www.byond.com/hub/AirMapster I would think that would go to my BYOND Portfolio page, which is currently http://www.byond.com/hub/ hub.cgi?qd=hubIndex;author=airmapster;category=all

Spuzzum	http://www.byond.com/hub/AirMapster I would think that would go to my BYOND Portfolio page, which is currently http://www.byond.com/hub/ hub.cgi?qd=hubIndex;author=airmapster;category=all Now that's a clever idea! (No sarcasm, either!)

Dan	what about urls like: http://www.byond.com/hub/AirMapster Ooh. Good point. But should this go to your "index" card (which links to your portfolio) or should it go straight to the portfolio? I suppose we could make hub/AirMapster go to the portfolio and make people/AirMapster go to your index card. I'm planning to do a bit more with those index card entries when I get a chance.
