Profile issue

[MEGA_amp]

When I try to access my profile, it takes me to smoking-amp's profile....?

 

[pinkmouse]

Indeed it does. How strange. 🙂

I'll flag it for Jason.

Thanks! Was just trying to dig around some of my old posts, no big deal.

It's the dash in your name unfortunately. You can choose to remove the dash from your name, or pick a new name. No other options really - sorry!

 

[MEGA_amp]

Could I change it to an underscore? If not, just remove the dash......do I do that?

 

[Jason]

I'm not sure if that would fix it. Let's try. In 2 minutes time, you'll have the same account, but with an underscore.

 

[Jason]

There you go. And yes, your profile does now work. Noted for future reference 😉

 

[MEGA_amp]

Sweet!!

Thank You!!

Makes me wonder what would happen if someone were to create another account with an underscore in the name.

What is the cause of this behaviour with the hyphen ?

 

[MEGA_amp]

As far as coding goes, I believe the hyphen has multiple uses, in this case maybe an ambiguous value.(?). The hyphen could be an operator or character. Underscore cannot be an operator. My best recollection from my coding days

Similar Problem

@ Jason

When I click to my "View public profile" or "View blog", it comes up Klang Projekt's Profile or Klang Projekt has not started a blog yet.

🙁 😕

It's a vBSEO thing. I'll see if there is something we can do about it.

Hi Jason,

Waiting to hear back from VBSEO support.
