Are Usernames with Spaces Sensible?
-
Is it ‘done’ to choose usernames with spaces? I’m just looking at this forum homepage, and I’m the only one who has chosen one, which is also why I have a problem with links from Post to my Profile on my own discussion board, even though it works for users who have an unbroken string as a username. Obviously, looking at the URL’s it’s the space that stops it being found, but given that the system (both, in fact) allowed me to choose a username with a space, is that no reasonable? Givem that it’s functionally possible, it would be poor to say to my subscribers to not use spaces.
Here’s the example of posts where link to my profile doesn’t work, but the link to another (non-spaced) user does;

And here’s the change I made to the post.php code, putting in; `<a>”>
<?php bb_get_profile_link(post_author()); ?></a>` – is this not the best/quoted way to do this?
<div class="threadauthor">
<p><strong><a>">
<?php bb_get_profile_link(post_author()); ?></a></strong>
<small><?php post_author_title(); ?></small></p>
</div>Thanks,
James
