    Question Big Problem with Member Profiles

    Hello!

    We have issues with the user profiles for two users with almost
    identical names. The one is named skikebär, the other is named
    Skike-Bär. The problem is not the ä, this get's converted to ae as
    intended. The issue is that the Dash becomes an underscore:
    skikebär

    This however is the profile for skikebär:
    skikebär

    Skike-Bär's profile works if you replace the underscore with a dash manually:
    Skike-Bär

    We can't figure out how to solve these...

    Doesn't help. Setting VBSEO_REWRITE_MEMBER_MORECHARS to 1 creates
    working but ugly URLs:
    Skike-Bär
    skikebär

    go here: /vbseocp.php#url_member

    click on the advanced tab

    And you will see all the member urls. You will need to change these to include the [user_id] variable, and maybe make a custom rule as well.
