This is mainly a design/hosting issue but currently, all URL prefix have the same root (speedrun.com/...)

this leads to an issue when a user and a leaderboard share the same name.

speedrun.com/dishonored doesn't link to the game Dishonored, instead we get an empty profile. This is incredibly counter-intuitive. The leaderboards for the game had to opt for either an abbreviation, which, given for the name of the game, isnt favorable, or go with speedrun.com/Dishonored, essentially the same URL, just case sensitive with a capital D.

To avoid the confusion, could you KEEP the simple way exclusively for game names and change the user profiles to speedrun.com/user/username without the double take? /user/ already exists but it doesnt have any purpose as you can take it away and it will still redirect to the same profile.

Thanks.

It's part of a capitalization problem that they're aware of. They do intend to streamline it better.

I think this might've broken with the update. I think you always used to have to do /user to get to a profile, but I might be wrong.
