 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,      |

Hello and welcome to the boards =) Within vbseo_config.php, you will find this setting: Code: define('VBSEO_REWRITE_MEMBER_MORECHARS', 0);
