Not registered?

[Zenith.UK]

I noticed that my avatar was a default vBulletin one when I logged in this morning.
When I click on it I get a vBulletin message saying

This user has not registered and therefore does not have a profile to view.

I tried to upload a replacement avatar from my PC but it wouldn't "take".
I tried one from my webspace and it wouldn't "take" either.

I've disabled my avatar for the moment, but any ideas what the problem might be?

I'll need Deebs to look at this one for you mate - odd one!

I'm another one of those ghosts in the shell, we don't exist Zenith, we're just spectres in the interwebs

You both have fullstops in your name. I'm going with that.

 

[old.Tohtori]

But it's my old tag!

It's the URL rewrite rules. You can't access the page even by way of a "." in the url, because it converts it back to a "-".

 

[Zenith.UK]

Then can you tweak my name to remove the offending fullstop please?
gg wp thx

 

[MYstIC G]

Deebs can probably adjust the URL rewrites, "time gentlemen please" as the landlord would say.

Ok,

this should be fixed now and the avatars should be back to normal....

Can someone confirm please....

 

[Ch3tan]

Well ST^'s avatar works now and his user profile is his own again.....

 

[old.Tohtori]

My avatar started working too at some point (during last two h?). Yippee for Deebs!

 

[Deebs]

Coolio.

Bloody vbseo, it was stripping special characters from the url. Anyway, the fix was to include the user's userid. So you are the 423rd person to join the forums Chet

Hehe, no idea! You were obviously busy when the registrations opened... I like my userid better than both yours and Teedles'.

 

[Ch3tan]

Change your name to Luigi!

 

[Zenith.UK]

Ahhh.. now I feel cooler.
Thank you.

 

[Deebs]

Rep please

Glad it is sorted and sorry for the delay in fixing it.

 

[MYstIC G]

well it was deffo never like that before, so I'm going to say more "bodged" than fixed just for giggles
