username, special characters, wrong link - Additional

Doesn't seem to have been solved it just removes the characters and since we have users with similar names it ends up them being redirected to the wrong profile.

~kirsten~ and kirsten on our forums goes to the same users profile when in reality it is two different users.

You have two options for solving this problem:

1) include the [user id] for your user profiles (or)
2) enable the following option via your config_vbseo.php (change setting to 1)

PHP Code:

 // Set this variable to 1 to include special characters using url encoding for member profiles.

define('VBSEO_REWRITE_MEMBER_MORECHARS', 0);

Just done option 2 and still got the same problem :(.

Trying to avoid option 1 as would be nice just having plain names.

I am using 'VBSEO_REWRITE_MEMBER_MORECHARS' set to 1

BUT if the username contains ? and the other username doesn't contain ? , the profile goest to the 2nd user

e.g; user? , user - and the profile goes to user, not user?
