[wp-forums] 404 error on wordpress.org when visiting profile

[Mika A Epstein]

Oh it's the hyphens, 100%.

You shouldn't get that 404 page, ever, you see. Go to http://profiles.wordpress.org/sadaskdhfadsfs and you get kicked back to http://wordpress.org after all.

http://wordpress.org/support/topic/my-profile-on-wordpressorg-is-broken-or-missing is there, I see ;)

This list is for forum moderation, btw, not support, so we'll come back round to it there, unless Mr. Maintainer (I am so calling you that now, dude) sees this first.
