| User gets redirected to wrong profile page
Hi everybody, I allow my users to have non-standard characters in their username. I have 2 users on my forum with similar names one is Blackout_10 and the other is Blackout* when Blackout* goes to his profile page it automatically redirects him to blackout_10. Am using the vBSEO 3.2.0 and vB 3.7.2 PL1 Exact post from user: Quote:

Thanks, but is that the only fix? I've had the same setup since 3.7 came out so it may affect other users (links etc)

| No need to worry, the UserID is unique for every user, so their profiles will have unique paths if you add the user_id variable to the rewrite.

Go into your vbSEO CP, expand the URL rewrite settings and find the member name URL rewrite setting and make SURE you have the USER_ID in the URL. I fixed mine by setting it to: /members/[user-id]-[username]/ The ID (member number) must be in there or it seems to get confused at times when member names are close, etc...so now mine show: /members/1-wiseone/ |

pretty much for ALL settings, if you allow more than [a-z0-9\s] [NC] for character entry, you should include the ID. for those non regex friendly, that's alpha numeric charcters and space, non-case sensitive. |

I did the fix exactly how wiseone said. Custom setting.
