 * Another small issue I found:
    If you have the, on the Settings > Appearance page
   the “Username Display Mode” set to “Link to the page” and the user has a space
   in their username (eg. John Smith) it produces the link as John+Smith but it 
   should be John-Smith

 * Do you have your own template (Username Link Template option) or not? If you 
   don’t have then this link is generated by WordPress (get_author_posts_url() function)
   and it should navigate to author’s page. I tested it and it works correct. If
   you have your own template then “+” is correct because it is “space” sign converted
   for usage in URL addresses.
