Username Rewrites, symbols, spaces, etc.

I'm having some difficulty with the rewrites for User Profile links

Something in the installation instructions suggested that the vbulletin usernames are "unique", but the VBSEO remapping drops symbols, causing

MalcolmX
and
MalcolmX.

to map to the same user, dropping the "." so both users go to
forum/members/MalcolmX/
So they really aren't unique under those circumstances.

Similarly, I think the space character is removed from usernames.

This is about the only problem I have had that I would consider a bug.

Regards,

Matt

Thanks, that appears to work properly now!

I also noticed that the Quick Reply function seems to be defeated now, (it goes to the advanced reply) but that might be a problem with Internet Explorer 7? I upgraded about the same time, so I can't really tell.

It appears that it happens even on this forum here. If I click the quick reply button, it goes to the advanced menu with all the fonts, smilies, attachment menus.
