Duplicate Usernames

Quote:
Member Profile URL Format
Select a member profile URL format or create a custom layout using the field provided.
NOTE: Since vBulletin does not allow for duplicate usernames, it is safe not to use the [user_id] variable.
Consider the pattern:
  • members/[user_name].html
Consider two users:
  • !Test!
  • Test
vBSEO will 'clean' the first, and the second is already clean. This will make two user URLs with members/test.html, making the first user '!Test!'s profile unreachable.

So something needs to be done here to workaround the problem, or the default should be changed to include an ID. Maybe two options, one for normal member URLs (members/test.html), then another for those who have special characters that were removed (members/test-id100.html). That way you could still have nice clean URLs, but those users could still work.

Re: Duplicate Usernames

Yeah, I had also made the suggestion to change the default to members/[user_name]-[user_id].html.
