profile issue

I have a member with the name His_Child. When viewing the profile, I see 5 posts made

Talk Jesus

Yet, in this thread, the same member is His Child (no underscore) with 18 posts made. There is only one His Child member in admin panel showing up, with no underscore too. This is very strange. In admin panel, it shows 18 posts.

In this thread Talk Jesus - View Single Post - The Sabbath it shows without underscore, yet no avatar shows up either!

I ran all the usual maintenance updates but that did not fix the problem.

When viewing the thread, if I click "view profile" from the name, it directs me to that same profile with the avatar, 5 posts shown and the underscore

You need to add the userid to the Member Profile URL format so that it will be able to differentiate.

Please explain what you mean by that. Is this done via vbseo admin panel?

Here's some info here: Links to member profile pages: Rewrite problems with special chars

There are actually two ways you can correct this; both examples are given by Oleg in that thread.

Ok but now anytime someone quotes a post(s) it shows the quote like this with number???

[quote=Chad;92037]

Why the numbers? It wasn't like that before.

I simply enabled this method

define('VBSEO_REWRITE_MEMBER_MORECHARS', 1);


Also, where is this in config_vbseo.php?


members/[user_name]-[user_id].html

No where to be found

That number has been there with recent versions of vBulletin. It's a default feature (nothing to do with vBSEO), so that the quote links back to the original post.

To modify your Member Profile URL format, use the vBSEO Control Panel instead of directly editing the config file.
