Question Help...?

I'm not sure if there's a help forum anywhere, but basically I need help.

Every time I try to view my profile it redirects me to someone called "Spanish-kat" instead of Kahlee-kat. I know its not my profile because it lists my username under the "visitors" sidebar.

Can someone fix this for me?

I think I read recently that it has something to do with the hyphen in your user name. Any punctuation seems to throw the system in to spasms.

Yup, damn punctuation! Notice that the URL has got the right name in it but the page is wrong? It's all screwed up.
Talk to Sime, he'll get the hyphen out of your name for ya.

Maybe sir Sime can have a look here:

within the vbulletin admin/control panel

General Settngs -> Character Replacement -> Advanced Settings -> Enable special characters in member URLs ? -> ON

This just might clear this issue up..
