Possible glitch/error on the site with user names.

Question

I was playing around with URLs, and I discovered that when you capitalize/lowercase letters in the URL, it changes them in your profile. For example, this is what my page should look like:

However, when I capitalize some of the letters in the URL, it turns into this:

This isn't limited to your page either, you can do it to anyone:

It works in links too:

Off Brand Super Admin

I don't know if there's anything that can be done to fix it, and anyways, it's funny, and can be used for propaganda.

I just wanted to bring this to attention.

Edit: I should have done more background research before posting this, because I found another post of this exact thing: https://pokemondb.net/pokebase/meta/16141/profile-name-bug-glitch

that's not an error. It isn't dangerous AFAIK and many people know about it.

you can rearranged them too :0

no. Silver's real username is Siiver because Silver was taken so i just decapitalized the second i and capitalized the first one

---

yeah i found this a while ago. this might be bc the urls arent case specific or somethin idk

---

Yeah I don't think this is any more harmful than the "inspect" button or the "save page as" button.

---

I don’t get it how is a knock-off version of me propaganda?

---

my guess was the if you only read the capitals, it says "SHY EGG"

---

I was unaware of this this is pretty funny actually

---

actually the capitals say FSHY FEGG due to both fs being capital

---

If your going to get technical about it, it's actually F SHY F EGG because the Fs and the words are not touching.

Answer 1

It's a limitation of the software we use. I intend to fix it for the next version, but I just haven't had time to work on it. Maybe one day :)
