    Avatar and user profiles not found?

    Hello,

    I installed vbseo yesterday. Now i am having some weird issues with my forums.

    1- I am unable to upload a file (for avatars for example) when i used to be able to previously.

    2- Links to user profiles when viewing a thread are incorrect:

    Forum M4E

    is instead showing as

    Forum M4E

    3- This users avatar is not showing up correctly (replaced by Vbulletin avatar) when viewing his post as it does in his profile.

    Can you help me?

    Thank you

    Hello,

    It appears you allow special characters in member names. It is recommended that if you allow more than [a-z0-9 \s] in user names that you include the userID as part of the re-write to avoid these conflicts. This will make it /members/suzhookd-1234/ for example.

    Thank you for your reply. How would i go about doing so? step by step perhaps from the vbSEO control panel). Thank you

    go to yoursite.com/vbseocp.php#url

    that will bring you to
    URL Rewrite Settings

    here, there's a drop down for 5 presets. chances are you used one.

    click the + sign below the drop down to expand the advanced settings.

    it will be pre-loaded with the custom settings.
    find all the member-related rewrite style types

    change
    members/[user_name]/
    to
    custom,
    members/[user_name]-[user_id]/

    or any other style you like, that includes the id.

    Thank you, that was very helpful and solved the member issues.

    I also seem to be having a very similar problem with my forum sections having letters such as: é - à - ô and so on...

    How would i fix that?
