So there is a problem accessing certain user's profile with their username that have a dash '-' at the end of their name. Take user ' @unicorns- ' for example, ' http://openstudy.com/users/unicorns- ' the site just redirects to @unicorns , without the dash and @unicorns- profile can never be accessed.

jaynator495 · Answer

Actually it works fine, however it might look like it redirects due to the fact that those symbols are hidden from the username in some JavaScript strings.

(long story on why this was done... Long story short i accidentally started a username war with LaTeX... Yea...)

Yes, if you highlight for example unicorns on http://openstudy.com/users/unicorns- There is this like "blank" after the s that must be the "-" I agree with Jaynator. Exists, just symbol hidden.
