URL name for organizations is confusing

[jace]

I watched someone register a new organization today. They put in their company's name in the Title field, and then proceeded to put the website URL in the 'URL Name' field, without recognising that it was for a username.

The field is confusing. It should be ajax-autocompleted from the Title using make_name but stripping common suffixes such as 'Pvt Ltd' or 'Technologies' or 'Media'. Users can then customise it if desired.

Having this field immediately after Title can make auto generation tricky as users are already likely to be typing in something there, so another field such as Company Website should appear in between. In addition, the username field should perhaps have a hasgeek.com/ prefix to make it's nature more apparent.

Indeed it should have a prefix.

How about using https://github.com/firstopinion/formatter.js

That doesn't seem to work on mobile.

This will eventually be fixed by having the feature removed in #232, but since that ticket will take a while, we should fix the UI for now.

This was fixed in e664bb2 on 6 July 2014.

The hasgeek.com/ prefix hint, that is. Further work should be in Funnel as per #232.
