    URL Rewrite for Member's Profile

    I'm having a weird problem with the member's profile URL. I have it like vBSEO currently have. But it has some negative side. Like in vBSEO Oleg Ignatiuk's profile URL is
    http://www.vbseo.com/members/oleg-ignatiuk/
    Now if a member registers with the name Oleg_Ignatiuk. Then his profile URL will be
    http://www.vbseo.com/members/oleg_ignatiuk/
    But the problem arrise if someone register with the name Oleg-Ignatiuk! Then Oleg-Ignatiuk's profile will be
    http://www.vbseo.com/members/oleg-ignatiuk/
    Which will clash with Oleg Ignatiuk's profile URL. Now is there any way we can make the Oleg Ignatiuk's profile URL like
    http://www.vbseo.com/members/oleg%20ignatiuk/
    ?
    I know there is a way to add User ID in member's profile URL rewrite format. But I prefer it as it is. Because it looks smart.

    So there is no other way than changing the current URL rewrite format? Can we have a better solution in future release?

    The only 100% way to avoid any username conflicts is to add user_id to member profile URL format.
