This upcoming universal profile page will definitely mess up the fetcher.

It has finally went live on the boards. The fetcher will no longer work anymore.

Now it's up to YE to decide what he plans to do with the fetcher.

I hope the answer is "fix soon". :/

Has anyone contacted YE about it?

I contacted YE about it. I also told him to consider a profile fetcher, because that would only be one request for each profile fetch.

I know about the potential abuse related to a profile fetcher, so I proposed an idea to try and keep other users from giving invalid profile links to the fetcher.

Once the fetcher is fixed, I hope he'll reset tiki's count back to 1000.

I'll do this at some point over the next few days.
I will not use abbrev.

What if there was a script that put a fetch link directly on the universal profile page? Sort of like the old topic fetch script. Then you could click it to fetch that user. It would sort of solve the problem of fetching invalid names since you couldn't fetch names without a direct link. The new problem would be that some people wouldn't be able to use it.
