How to get the URL of a profile

For a multitude of reasons you might want to get a link to yours or another athlete's Smoothcomp profile, also known as the Smoothcomp profile URL. The URL is simply the text seen at the top of your browser when you visit the page. Like here boxed in red, where the short format URL in this case is "smoothcomp.com/en/profile/1327726":

The full format of the URL includes a few more characters at the start of the string, then looking like this: "https://smoothcomp.com/en/profile/1327726 ". This will most likely show once you click the text field in your browser. Exactly how the URL field looks will differ depending on the browser used. In the example above Chrome is used.

Copy the URL

To send a link to a profile to someone else, simply visit the profile you want your friend to visit and copy the URL. Then paste this where ever you want it - in an email, in a text message or whatever.

Copying text on desktop can be done either by marking the text (triple left click or left click and drag to mark) and then hitting the keyboard combination "ctrl + c" (windows) or "cmd + c" (mac), or you can mark the text like before, right clicking it and then selecting the option "copy". Pasting the URL is as simple as following the copying steps just mentioned but switching "c" in the keyboard combination to "v", or using right click choosing the "paste" option in the menu.

This operation on a mobile device is similar to the right-click alternative above, but usually involves pressing and holding on the marked text instead of right clicking a mouse.

What about the user ID?

Each user has an identifier (ID for short), which is used to tell all users apart. On Smoothcomp the user ID can always be found by taking a look at the URL. The ID is always the number followed by "/profile/" or "/account/" will be the ID of your profile/account. In our example at the top or this article the ID is "1327726".
