    I don't know if this has been mentioned before, but if you click a username (to go to their profile) that has a " " (space) in it.... (ex. DILYSI dave)... you get an error because it parses the " " in the name to an "%20" and (I assume) the webserver cannot resolve this. Is this a known issue?

    %20 is the URL encoded symbol for space...I would have thought it would work

    Try leaving out the space. I just tried that with two such names, "Joe Gearin" and "John Brown". For the latter username, I can get a valid pathname by leaving out the space. It doesn't work for the "Joe Gearin", though.

    AHH! my SCREEN name is my selected alias, it isn't my actual username (autolex84)... i bet it has something to do with that... (mine breaks too)

    My ID is dilysi_dave since this software can't deal with spaces.

    another solution is to click on their avatar ( of lack of ) and you go to their profile

    as in: click on DILYSI Dave's Honda not his user name...

    cool! hahah! sounds like the link for the username just needs to be redirected. :)
