I am creating about a dozen template sites for our agents (real Estate company). I basically created all the pages and simply made the start page = something like this
default.asp?UserID=12, that works great as I put that in IIS and when the visitor hits that initial page it just shows like
www.agent.com. My question is this. on that front page say I have a page for ABOUT ME, well in order to get that link to show the proper agents BIO page I would need it to look like aboutme.asp?UserID=12. I am trying to clean that up to just be AboutMe.asp. This is mainly for text links.

any suggestions?

if i got you right ..this is the solution

in default.asp:
session("Aboutid" = request.querystring("userid"

in aboutme.asp :
userid= session("Aboutid"

it is better to store the pageid in database .

I'd try saving their userID's in a SESSION variable, then you can verify if the session variable exists, and if so then show content (record, etc.).

That will reduce your GET variables (querystring).
