Bug!

TTT ( [[:cs:people/mattthew|TTT]] ) does not link to a group thread (yet?), but to Mattthew's profile. All in all, love the page! Very helpful! Thank you!--Kaoxoni 12:06, 13 January 2007 (EST)

I fixed it, thanks for pointing this out! ;-) --Phauly 09:35, 14 January 2007 (EST)

Users?

I agree that /something/username would be better than just /username - but I don't like the word "users".. it's a bit impersonal, has connotations of druggies or freeloaders. I'd prefer to see something like "/members/" or "/people/". --Calum^TalkCS 21:48, 14 December 2006 (EST)

Ok. We'll have all three! And make /people/ the prefered. In revision 577 :) Guaka^TalkCS 22:21, 14 December 2006 (EST)

Sweet! --Calum^TalkCS 15:55, 15 December 2006 (EST)

Users?

While adding stuff to the amb-list I noticed that usermembernames with blank or special characters like "*" (Asterisk) don't work. Examples:

• ANU* -> 404 error, not here
• Aparna Shekar -> 404 error, not here

The space should work now, but I don't think special characters should be working, or be allowed. It's really hard to create nice URLs for them. So we should go through the database and replace those names. Guaka^TalkCS 18:44, 18 December 2006 (EST)

The link above to Aparna's profil still doesn't work. (I understand the problem with special charakters, but someone has to tell ANU* ...) midsch^CS 15:11, 21 December 2006 (EST)

I added a replace for _ and I want to write some code that asks people with crazy characters in their membername to change it into something decent. Anyone is free to keep their membername, but their links will look like the current ?id=REIC423 stuff. Normal membernames will be linked to in cool ways like /people/midsch  :) Guaka^CS 18:41, 21 December 2006 (EST)
