The user link for s452 sends it to a profile called “anis452”

Here the link the real s452 profile: https://forums.halowaypoint.com/yaf_profile16324.aspx

I been having this problem on the forums for the past year now, I also PM bs angel a few times about it, and haven’t heard anything back about it.

If anyone knows how to fix this problem that will be very helpful.

Have you ever seen that GT before? Is it a former GT by chance? Or has your account as far as you know never been associated with it?

Also, do you know if any of your other profile-related links are have this issue?

Did some random testing…

The userlink for DavidJ redirects to the profile of davidj190891.

The userlink for JCobb redirects to my profile.

Looks like the server treats userlinks as a search-by-username, and it looks for substring matches instead of exact matches. OP’s bug is a consequence of that: “s452” is a substring of “anis452”.

I didn’t see that GT until SHADOWSTRIKE1 told me about that userlink problem back during the Defiant achievement playdate last year. I’m not associated with that GT since I had the s452 account since 2010 and I haven’t change it since. I also remembered that the userlink used to be linked up to my profile back in 2011 until that Defiant achievement playdate.

As for the other profile-related links, I don’t believe so.
