Exclamation Conflict with usernames and avatars

I discovered 2 bugs I think:

Bug 1. We have a user called 'Rob G' and since a week ago a user registered with the nickname 'Rob-G'. Now when the old (Rob G) wants to upload a new avatar, he always gets the avatar from 'Rob-G' in his profile.

So what happens is, I think, that the software thinks Rob G and Rob-G are one and the same member when one of the two uploads an avatar.

I don't know if other problems exist for usernames, but this is one.

Bug 2. A user called '(Soulfly)' is registered at our board. When someone clicks on the birthday link with their username, they go to: 'Soulfly' instead of '(Soulfly)' . So the brackets are gone, and the wrong member is showed.



Now a solution for this is to disallow the use of these characters in usernames, for new registrations. But this is not really a solutions for existing members. Also a hack is needed to ban these characters in usernames for new registrations, as vbulletin doesn't have it standard.

Thank you,

Re: Conflict with usernames and avatars

Hello and welcome to the boards =)

Within vbseo_config.php, you will find this setting:
Code:
define('VBSEO_REWRITE_MEMBER_MORECHARS', 0);
Change it to '1' to have vBSEO include special characters using url encoding. This will prevent broken (or duplicate) user profiles
