Hello !!
I was hoping you could give me some advice on solving an issue.
I am still a newbie to the site, and can’t figure this out :

I wanted to see how others who are or aren’t members could find my profile and photos,
so, I logged myself out.
Then, in the search tab, I put my username : Through-The-Eye
all I got was photos w/ through the eye in the tag…. they were all tags.
I couldn’t find my profile !!!

I then tested one of the people on my watchlist to see what would happen… for example:
In the search tab, I put the username : Yool
It immediately found 1 member : Yool
AND, it also nicely displayed her creative works.

WHY oh why can’t I get this to work for me too ???!!!!!!
HELP !!!!!!!

Thanks for your time,
Laura

I know what my Username and password is and it works.

Thanks,
Laura

   Hi Laura,
   

   Because you have hyphens in your username, it doesn't agree with the search engine (this same thing happens on google.com)
   

   In your case, the best thing to do is direct people to your profile page directly at http://www.redbubble.com/people/Through-The-Eye

   You can also tag each of your works with "Through-The-Eye"

   Hope that helps

   Jo
