    Question Why are usernames with spaces seperated with a + instead of a -

    Usernames and social groups that consist of two words are being rewritten by vbseo as:

    word1+word2

    How do I make it so instead they show up as:

    word-word2

    I'm running vbseo on other forums, same settings, and its doing word1-word2 so how do I remove that + and replace it with a dash?

    FYI - The threads are being rewritten with a - spacer just fine.

    Hello,

    perhaps you have VBSEO_REWRITE_MEMBER_MORECHARS option enabled in config_vbseo.pgp file in this case.
