Try to go to n00b #2's profile. You can't do it. It says his profile doesn't exist, yet he is actually here. i'm not sure why it does this or to how many accounts it happens, but its pretty annoying because I [sorta] know n00b #2 and I can't send him a pm or anything if his profile doesn't work.

It's becuase of his name. There needs to be restrictions on the reigstration names so people dont use weird characters and fuck up SQL queries.

Although I just registered this name (I'm Rabid) and the profile query works fine. I'd guess the space is the problem.

Why not just go back to using user IDs instead of having their actual name in the address? It seems like having usernames in the profile's address can only hurt you.

Noticed that since his first journal entry, but couldn't be arsed to post that on the forums. Shame on me.
You can view profiles using id's, but you have to guess the id.

And uh.. Rabid, the profile quesry doesn't work for us. When you press the 'My profile' link it uses your id, but then we press on your name ir uses your name!

If you can see the avatar of desired person, it's easy to find the ID - just check the name of the avatar - it's number is the user ID.

Examply, my avatar is named 353.jpg - my ID is 353.

Noob #2's avatar's name is 2873.jpg -

Still, I think its annoying and pointless to have usernames in the web address if it can cause such problems. honestly, how many of you are willing to go out and find someone's avatar every time you want to go to their profile?

Well, you shouldn't be able to use weird-ass characters in your name :) .

I just noticed this thread -_-
I really didn't know what anyone was talking about until now.
Sorry that I chose a name that actually means something to me.
