Hey Dirk,

Unfortunately the "ID" is necessary as this is the unique identifier of the group. There is no way to just use an "alias" right now

But it has been done for profiles right. I can type:

- https://techdubz.com/the-underground/profile/techdubz

And hit my own permalink. I don't really understand why this cant be done for groups as well

There are a lot of complications when we have done this for the profile It also adds extra weight to the site because the system will need to "search" for the user's id given the alias. With the "ID" prefixed on the url, it loads much faster as it doesn't have to perform additional searches for the user's id.
