Can you help me understand some variation I'm seeing in the profile URL of my users. I've cleared EasySocial cache and re-indexed the search in case that made a difference.
Some of my users have a profile ID which is just their name (lower case and wacky characters stripped out) - whereas others have that too but it also starts with their UserID.
So Jackie Jones might be jackie-jones but then I see Matthew Smith is 54-matthew-smith. What causes the difference?!
I'm trying to build something that'll link to user profile URLs and so I want to understand why there's a difference - I could work with either - just need some consistency!
I also realise that the URL works all the time if you just use the User ID alone.... but if possible I'd like to stick with the ones EasySocial builds that include the person's name too.
