I have an htaccess file written, so when a user types in www.domain.com/TheirName, it will display just their name, as well as see their forum details. But for some reason, when I type in 1 name, the whole link shows, and not their name, but for others, it works.

Here's what the htaccess file looks like:

RewriteEngine On

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d

RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /profile.php?username=$1

For my username, the whole link shows, rather than just the name.

Any help would be well appreciated. Thanks!

Sorry if this is in the wrong section.

what is the name that causes the problem? (it might be relevant in this case but not sure)

 

EDIT: for the one name showing the "whole link" it could be that you haven't defined a condition to catch the particular name. The name must first satisfy the !-f and the !-d condition. However the name is getting past those and not being rewritten by rewrite rule. For the RewriteRule to perform it's duties, the 'test string' must meat the prior conditions.
