Support Forum

Yeah, my assumption is it is purely related tot he passover from clicking on a member's name link in the forums and when it tries to generate a URL to point to buddypress. Here is some example pages for one of our users "Sardonic Artery".

Here is a forum topic with him included, so that you can see the link: http://www.rm40k.com/forums/wa.....ead/#p8056

Here is a link to a location you can see his link within Buddypress:

http://www.rm40k.com/members/

Here is the actual link to his profile page:

http://www.rm40k.com/members/S.....y/profile/

When you click on the person's name though you get two different URLS from the two systems...

If you click on Sardonic Artery's name from the BP Member page you get his page and clicking on profile you get:

h ttp://www.rm40k.com/members/sardonic%20artery/profile/

If you click on his name in the forums you get:

h ttp://www.rm40k.com/members/SardonicArtery/profile/

The forums link throws an error since there is no "SardonicArtery" but rather "Sardonic Artery" which the BP press side puts a %20 in the URL to signify.

Note: I put a space in the http to break it from hiding a part of the link.

Thanks a bunch for sticking with this one, I figure its a bit low priority right now with the 5.0 release (which by the way kudos on!).

The only BP addon we have is BP_Humanity for a Q&A style spammer protection (which works flawlessly for anyone curious)

I know that some of our users have a different display name then their user login name if that is what you mean. Wordpress allows the user to pick what they want their name to be displayed as publicly. Malefactor, for example, has "malefactor" as his username he logs in with, but his name is displayed publicly as "Rlumsden". BP looks as though it uses the WP login name not the display name for this.

SP looks like it's smart enough to use the login name even if I turn my display name to "Rob Brock". My actual username is "BlueDagger" which both SP and BP pickup on the capitalization correctly. It's look though that if there is a space in the username it trips up SP.

While typing this up I did some testing and it looks like Wordpress doesn't allow a username creation with a space, so the username must have made it through that was by importing our users in from our old phpBB forums with the import tool.

Since that is the case I'll just try to sift through my users and cleanup the accounts on a case by case basis since spaces in our forum names are rare. However good to be aware that other importing will see the same issue.
