You used to be able to have urls with player's usernames in it like: http://www.roblox.com/User.aspx?Username=ROBLOX but very recently, User.aspx redirects to your personal profile. Is there any new links that can go to a user's profile via their username and not their ID?

I'm pretty sure there isn't a way. It's just roblox, deal with it.

I know I can get id's from usernames with apis. That's not what I want. I just want a link to the profile using their Username. This isn't even for a roblox game.
