Ticket #24653 (closed: fixed)

Opened 16 months ago

Last modified 10 months ago

My user entry appears to be missing (for beta version of sourceforge)

Reported by: fred_t_hamster Owned by: ctsai
Keywords: ENGR NF-3850 Cc:
Private: no

Description (last modified by ctsai) (diff)

On my project site at http://sourceforge.net/p/feistymeow/wiki/Home/ I have used the [[project_admins]] wiki code, and this has produced https://sourceforge.net/u/fred-t-hamster/ as the project admin. However, that is a 404 dead link. I do have a user page of some sort at https://sourceforge.net/users/fred_t_hamster, but am missing that other version. I'm not sure why the underscores have been turned into dashes either.
It seems like possibly my newer style user page has become unlinked from my account somehow? Unless I need to create a user page by some other means than what I already have?
Given that the broken link is being automatically generated by sourceforge, it does seem like a bug or a confused database record or something like that.

the bizarre red block above was just supposed to read [ [ project_admins ] ] without any spaces (which is the wiki code to automatically insert the project administrators).

PS., I've also fixed the [[project_admins]] display on the ticket description using backticks as I just did.

I sent this comment, but may have only emailed it...
I'll add it since I just saw this ticket go to "in progress".

Is it possible we can fix this problem by moving my fred_t_hamster account over to a fred-t-hamster account?
I have already created the latter account, but I'd like the older fred_t_hamster account's creation date and other stuff migrated to the new account, so I don't lose any "community prestige".
Also, the fred-t-hamster account could receive project ownership for all my projects (hoople.org, hoople2, yeticode, and feisty meow).
Does this seem like a workable way around this problem?

  • resolution set to fixed

This is now fixed.

Since we can't support the underscore, we provide a more generic URL for legacy users with underscores in their usernames. Yours is here: https://sourceforge.net/u/userid-327677/profile/
