User Profile URL

yes, i was thinking upon the same line as you at first vadivelan. tapping into the error page, but i thought about the same issues too. I dont want to use a user controller because i want to have as short a url as possible. I was thinking about using htaccess but it would just interfere with the codignitor mod rewrites. I was also thinking about modding the core to handle whether it was an actual 404 or a user uri, but I do not really want to do that, because it is unclean. maybe if there was a good hook to use or something.
