Ok...guess ill just not go to my profile then

oh...nice

So may I close this topic now?

um why? Going to my profile with the link ive been using doesnt work but going to it through user profile does?

The user= url param was changed to username=. That's why it's not working for you.

More generally, any bookmarks you may have saved from the old site should be replaced with new ones.

oh, no it was a link on my website, so if any bookmarks did auto-update, it would not affect me

What? No, I didn't mean that we changed your bookmarks; it's that you need to change them because the old ones don't point anywhere any more.

oh, ok, thank you
