    I'd suggest the option #2 from that post: keep VBSEO_REWRITE_MEMBER_MORECHARS setting to 0 and change member URL format instead.

    Thanks Oleg

    // Set this variable to 1 to include special characters using url encoding for member profiles.
    define('VBSEO_REWRITE_MEMBER_MORECHARS', 0);
    This look ok?
