Link to Player Profiles

Good Day.

I host a private website for boardgame enthusiasts. We have a few hundred members from across the globe, (mostly North America). To bring our community together and make it easier to plan events we allow users to link their profile on our site to their BoardGameGeek profile. We are trying to allow users to enter their BGA ID and have it autolink for ease of connecting to other members.

It does not appear that BGA has a linkable URL to player accounts using their account handle. That limits our ability to link and help connect players. Seems like it would be a simple addition.

Giving this a "bump" for visibility. Surely, I am not the only one that thinks it is a good idea to be able to link to your BGA profile from other platforms.
