When you click on the name of someone who has changed it, you get a 404 error.
You can still access their profile by clicking on their avatar, because it's smart enough to look for the profile under the old name.

If it has spaces... it fails. Click the avatar and choose from the menu to get where you want

It doesn't require spaces. Though now that you mention it, that fails too. I knew that, but forgot to include it. For a non-spaced example: Javelin (P71) fails for example.
I did already mention the workaround, but it still looks bad for the board to be generating 404ed links to itself.

That's one of the reasons we're paying a nice website design firm to do new sites for us.

Margie beat me to it, but yeah what she said.
The Classic Motorsports site will see the upgrade first so we can evaluate it and make some tweaks, but it's coming to a screen near you. We're being careful to not muck with the user database and make the transition seamless for you other than making it pretty, getting rid of the 404-generating issues, and implementing a functional search.
