The URL that links to the profile MUST go through TinyURL.com or clicking on any of the icons will just return you to your page.
I don't get this bit. What's up with it? Going through a URL redirector just causes the redirect bar to pop up, annoying. But actually give your link doesn't...and no, clicking any icon will not go to the person's page that didn't use a redirector...
What a lot of people have found is that whenveer URL's were given they would automatically re-direct to your own profile, not the profile you wished to view. Therefore the tinyurl/snipurl was born.
Maybe it's a bit of a pain, but if you can't be bothered we'll type the code for you.

I would assume that was because people were using
http://www.gaiaonline.com/sunburn/profile.php?view=profile.ShowProfile, thinking that was their URL, when that is just a general URL. That's why &item=USER_ID, is now at the end of everyone's URL. In fact, the ony way to get that other URL is if you manually delete the &item=USER_ID at the end.
Heh, speaking of editing the URL...you know what's fun...viewing the actual page the profile is. It's no profile.php, but actually
index.php
