Convert Vanity Links to Numerical Links for Reports/Disputes

This is not necessary for making reports and disputes, however it can be helpful for admins and possibly witnesses, etc.
I decided to make this for one reason:
I will occasionally see people link profiles that have a custom URL. This is not a huge issue but if someone changes their vanity URL name, the link will no longer work which makes it harder to view their profile quickly.
There is a website (and probably more) that allows you to put in a vanity URL and it will give you information about the profile including the regular numerical URL that each person is given after registering.
This site is https://steamid.io/ or you can simply type Steam I/O in Google and it will be the first option.
Steam I/O is very easy to use. Just put the person's Vanity URL in the lookup search bar. Upon entering the link, and pressing enter or clicking Lookup, it will bring you to the information of the profile:

Now just use that numerical URL on your reports and disputes.
