    Member names with commas

    I searched and couldn't find an answer to this. One of my members is names student's tundra and his profile shows as:

    http://www.tundrasolutions.com/forum...udents-tundra/

    However, vB reports an error message as "
    This user has not registered and therefore does not have a profile to view."

    Am I missing something?

    This happens with configurations where VBSEO_REWRITE_MEMBER_MORECHARS set to 0 and VBSEO_FILTER_FOREIGNCHARS set to 1 for member profiles with (') character. Fixed.

    Thank you for reporting!

    /* NOTE: This issue has been resolved. */
    The fix will be distributed in the next build.

    I changed it to 1. Now the URL works, but it's really weird: http://www.tundrasolutions.com/forum...527s%2Btundra/

    Yeah, that's what it does with users with special characters. If you change the URL to include the userid, you can turn that option back off.

    As I mentioned above, the problem with ' character is fixed and it will work with VBSEO_REWRITE_MEMBER_MORECHARS=0 as well (with new vBSEO version).
    The URL will be looking like "members/student-s-tundra/" for this page.

    However you should consider to leave VBSEO_REWRITE_MEMBER_MORECHARS=1 OR include user_id part in URL (as ConqSoft has just mentioned) because you may experience the same problem with members that have special characters in username.
