RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^(.*)/

RewriteRule  ^([^/]*)/$ member.php?username=$1

 

 

See how it has [-_A-Za-z0-9\ ].[-_A-Za-z0-9\ ] well its looking for period in the center somewhere

When I try to make it look for EVERYTHING (including periods since usernames can have them),

it just makes the thing go into an infinite loop or something

Right now it can get j.love as a username but not a.b.c. as a username since that has multiple periods in it

[-_A-Za-z0-9\ \.]

 

 

try that instead =) (instead of [-_A-Za-z0-9\ ].[-_A-Za-z0-9\ ])
