Some pesky surprise-gifting folks have hidden their wishlists on their user profiles. Oh ho-ho-ho noes :) I want revenge! to send them a little something out of my unused luminaire budget for the lulz as they probably weren't expecting anything.

There is a way to use URL tricks to find these things, but my memory isn't working for me today on this, and I seem to have lost the bookmark that tells me how to do this.

Isn't it something like your own wishlist URL but with their username or userid stuck there somewhere on the end?

yes, https://subeta.net/wishlists.php/USERID

The easiest way I've found to get the USERID is through the HA image, view image and you get something like: https://sapi.subeta.net/avatar/193503.png?x=1577132765

The part I put in bold is the USERID

Just FYI, you can also just put their username in that URL instead of the user ID. I even tested it for users who have hyphens and/or underscores in their usernames just to be sure, and it still seemed to work just fine.

User IDs work too, of course. I just wanted to mention another possibility if you don't want to look up all the ID numbers. :)

Thanks! Its much easier to use the name, but I can never keep track of which things work with username and which require USERID. I just know that userid works in almost all case, and username only works in some.

just tack their username onto the end without any other characters?

Oops, sorry for the late reply, but yes just the username as it appears normally. So if it's a single word like yours and mine, it would just be that. If it has other characters in it, like _ or - then include those.

I haven't tried with any usernames that have spaces in them though (I'm not even sure if usernames can have spaces ?).

But yeah, if you ever come across any that don't seem to be working that way for whatever reason, the user ID method should work anyway. So whichever is more convenient for you. :)
