+Kalkendotters Posted January 17, 2020 Share Posted January 17, 2020 When the CO-name has special characters in his/her/its name the link to the found/hidden page is not correct encoded. This results in an error message and a default searchpage instead of a list with found (or hidden) caches by the CO. See e.g. this cachepage: https://www.geocaching.com/geocache/GC8167X_wandelen-met-frouke-4-het-bergerbos the links in ' ...other caches hidden or found by this user ' are misformed to https://www.geocaching.com/seek/nearest.aspx?u=Willy%2BFrancina If you go to the profile of Willy+Francina and use the 'Geocaches' tab, the link gets formed as: https://www.geocaching.com/seek/nearest.aspx?u=Willy%252bFrancina (although that link is basically incorrect because now the % is also encoded, this version does work) 2 Quote Link to comment
+The A-Team Posted January 17, 2020 Share Posted January 17, 2020 Yes, there are a number of links across the site that won't work correctly if the username contains special characters. This has been an ongoing issue for a couple of years. Quote Link to comment
