you guys have lost me...  google plus still has the username in it double - or at least still supports it...  it just redirects it to a single version...  mine works fine...   google has so many damn different versions that works...

fidosysop yours works fine here...

Giacomo, your works fine too...  https://plus.google.com/u/1067.....0441511383

what are you entering in the profile??  the only thing you should have entered for google plus is:  106723957990441511383

since we started this, google plus has changed the format no less than 6 times...  not going to chase that moving target if one of the original versions still works...

Hey Steve, Google is rolling out usernames to substitute for the long hard (nearly impossible) to remember Google+ id numbers. I was offered one for my eBayMotorsSucks profile yesterday but declined it. Apparently Giacomo accepted and Google takes your first and last name to make up the ID.

I tried entering GiacomoPapasidero into my blogs Simple Press G+ profile to test it. The link above does work, but not when entered into SP. But i guess if the number is still available and is working so I'll just keep use it if i accept a new username.

Man, I tell ya, it's a bitch keeping up with all these changes!

Regards, Ed

We will have to see if we can find a way to cater for both old and new.

not sure anything needs to be done yet...  maybe in time when the new username method is more widespread and eveyone has one...

the user id method always works... and finding the user id is not hard...

@giacomo, thanks for the update!
