    Rewrite problem - underscore and space both get converted to minus

    I've searched around for this and not found any useful info on my particular problem.

    Today a user registered with the name monkey_boy. But there was an existing user called "monkey boy". Whenever anyone clicks on the profile it converts the name in the URL to monkey-boy.

    Basically the underscore and the space characters are both being converted to the same thing "-".

    I'm running 3.0.0 Gold on VB 3.6.7 PL1. I haven't changed many settings from the default and am not doing anything fancy at all concerning seo. I looked through my vbseo control panel and couldn't see any options concerning this particular character conversion.

    Is this a bug, or something I am supposed to configure? This seems like a sub-optimal situation to me.

    Thanks for that. The format seems to have changed in 3.0.0, but I figured it out based on the other thread.

    Since I run a default setup, surely I can't be the only vbseo user that gets hit with this problem? Maybe the defaults should be changed slightly?
