I can't confirm this: The %20 works just fine for me so far.

this hack is very usefule thank you. it will work PERFECTLY when vBSpace comes out. where the users can have a http://www.yoursite.com/username. awesome!

vbspace here -> https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=82930

edit: one of my members noticed something after i installed. i have vba cmps installed on my forum so i put the .htaccess file in the root directory, edited hangout.php to forums/index.php and members.php to forums/members.php so users can have www.mysite.com/username. but when one of my members was playing around with it he noticed that if you do so it goes to the user's profile but then all of the images that are comming from image.php are comming up broken. does anyone know how to get around this?

thanks in advance.

thanks ricky. lol i guess you're having the same problem too.

what if they have different characters than "(^[-_A-Za-z0-9\ ]*$)"

how can we make it so people with all different characters can use it

great hack.

how about if the link site.com/usernamewhatever doesn't return a match username it will then check if there is a folder with the name usernamewhatever ?

well I think it's ok without that

/me clicks install

Yes, it is recommended tha you run another hack on here for no Special Characters in usernames. Add that hack to stop your users being allowed to add special characters to their usernames. This is pretty much an essential addon hack needed to get the full functionality of this and so you get no 404 erros. I will see if I can find it and post the link here. If anyone finds it b4 me feel free to post it here.

This would not be due to the hack. MOD rewrite does nothign to your code it meerly takes a string and based on the criteria (or lack thereof) returns a users profile or appropriate error message.

You might want to try (don't know if this will do anything) to put the links as full URLs e.g. http://blahblahblah/forums/member.php.

Other than that I'm not sure why this may have happened and as I said above this hack does not change your vbulletin setup or configuration at all.

Could work for 3.5, or?

^ yes..It will work! I am sure about it :D
