They have one profile page, that serves as kind of a template for userhomes...
In the link to that page, they add a parameter, which servers as an unique id(username, primary key of a mysql table,...)So in the template page, they just fetch all the info from the database that corresponds to that key that is sent along.
Hope this clears things out a bit.
