Vew profile (sic)?

I've noticed that when you want to view a member profile, the page is called "vewprofile.cgi" rather than viewprofile. I somehow doubt this is a simple speeling mistake, so can anyone enlighten me as to why it's done? Is is to confuse spiders or automated searches, or does the name change regularly?

It just looks a bit sloppy (once you've noticed it) - couldn't you use another name like "viewdetails.cgi", or "checkprofile.cgi" if viewprofile can't be used?

How about fewprofile.cgi?

;)

Also, you guys are spelling spelling, speeling - which is exactly how we 'say' it over here in NZ :) -- an 'eh' becomes 'eeh'.
