Friendly URLs

Hoddie

Sometimes it is necessary to help buyers navigate BO's pages, but it's often difficult due to the various URLs being used.

For example, for someone to view the orders they have placed, the URL is:
https://www.brickowl.com/user/{userid}/orders
but it would be more helpful if it was something neutral:
https://www.brickowl.com/orders

Similarly, to view a particular order, the URL is:
https://www.brickowl.com/user/{userid}/orders/{orderid}
but it would be easier if it was:
https://www.brickowl.com/{orderid}

I end up having to say "Go to your user name, click 'Order History', find the order and click 'View Order', then 'More Actions' ...

The problematic bit is the user ID. Not a massive deal but if it's an easy change I for one would appreciate it.

But it was closed when I suggested it:

I upvoted this - maybe use the Contact Us button below to ask why it was previously closed, @Stellar ? Wondering if there is a coding reason, maybe, but who knows. :-)

Although I agree a standardised URL would make this simpler, our preference would be to signpost the user to where they can find their order history. That way they are able to help themselves in future.
