ERROR 404This member does not exist

[sister jenny]

Not sure what has happened but you can not find my stories anymore. It says:

ERROR 404​

This member does not exist

Same thing when I tried to go in and edit my profile.

Since I can post here, I must exist somehow. But my profile and stories don’t.
Anybody know what happened?

If I have done something wrong and gotten banned or something, please tell me in a private message.
I will accept whatever it is and quietly leave.

The stories themselves are still there if you search by your username. It looks like the issue is the space in your username. Something must have gotten broken on the site because the space isn't being resolved correctly - look at the url to your account and you'll see it has another actual space in-between sister and jenny in it which isn't valid

eta: it's not just you. I just made a post in the Site Support forum (for whatever that's worth) because it looks like EVERY user with a space in the username is broken

Has your username always had the space in it? The instructions on creating usernames say that an underscore is the only valid alternative character, although a casual scan reveals that a period and a dash will also work.

• Usernames may consist of letters, numbers, and the underscore character “_” only. Spaces or other special characters can’t be used in Literotica Usernames. If you want to use the name “My Username”, you would need to use “My_Username” instead. Usernames may be between 4 and 30 characters in length.

Either way, something is broken, likely by the latest update. This is something that @Manu will have to address.

Yeah, I’ve always had since the day I joined.

I have no problem finding you in a search. Must have just been a glitch. Sometimes, if I haven't refreshed my page, I get error notices.

Is the solution to change my name?

 

[cw5523729]

Hmmm. so.

I checked the wayback machine and unless I'm mistaken, it's been broken for a long fucking time. I chose one of your stories at random and the link to your username was broken August of last year but worked in April of last year.

Originally the link used a userid like below:

https://www.literotica.com/stories/memberpage.php?uid=7420059&page=submissions

Afterward, it goes directly to the username which doesn't work if there's a space in it. The link above won't work either because it tries to immediately resolve it to the username anyway and fails again.

So I don't know what's going on.

Is the solution to change my name?

I answered this in the other thread but I'm going to change that now:

My guess is yes

eta: but just to repeat what I said in the other thread, you can't do that yourself. You need to send a message to the administrators to do it.

 

[sister jenny]

Thank you!

I have asked for a name change. Let's see what happens.

@sister jenny - I don't know if you saw but the issue with the spaces in the username seems to be fixed. Your works show up correctly again.
