    Bug: User CP crossover

    I installed VBSEO yesterday morning, and have a few issues with how it calls the User CP page.

    We have a member, "Amy_Lee". When she clicks on her usercp, it brings up the profile for member "Amy Lee", because the link is named "amy-lee.html", and it apparently confuses vbulletin.

    This is obviously a security risk from a member perspective, and also makes it so those users can't edit their own usercp.

    With 47,000 members, we're going to have several of these issues.

    So, 1) What can I do for a short-term fix, and 2) what can be done to fix this in the future as a standard?

    Edit your Member Profile URL Format in the vBSEO Control Panel, and add the user ID to the URL.

    Like this:
    members/[user_name]-[user_id].html

    I don't see where to add this. I've looked from top to bottom. Could you help me out? Still new to all the different settings, but I don't see anything like this. I'm using 3.0RC8, by the way.

    Go to the URL Rewrites section, and click the + to expand that section out.

    Got it now. Easy to miss, that little + sign. Thanks!

    Yeah, you don't normally want to change those settings once you choose a URL format, so that's why it's kinda "hidden".
