Re: user_nicename in messaging
Yes I agree. That’s why I am saying this situation is an error. The field being used next to the display name, @LindaPH in my example, is NOT the user login name. That is still Lindy and you would need to use @Lindy to message her. BP uses that same user_nicename in constructing the permalink. In this case to see Linda’s profile, the permalink is http://bni-weymouth.org/members/LindaPH/ and not /Lindy/. We now have the url and the @name using one field but the messaging/mentions using another – I’d call that inconsistent.
What I would really like is to know how to make BP follow this through to make the messaging use it too so that @LindaPH worked.
