Hi,

Thanks for the bug report with steps to produce it. I will investigate this and fix it today.

I will add a web config setting that will allow forcing a prefix like username-post-title.aspx, the friendly urls are not designed to simulate folders.
Or perhaps appending the date to the end of the post title like post-title-2009-05-05-05-10-90.aspx would solve it more naturally.

The Web.config setting will be disabled by default because probably a lot of sites are not hosting a bunch of blogs and would rather not have the prefix in the url, but this will allow that scenario of lost of blogs and avoid url collisions.

Best,

Joe 

Hi,

I just tested this following your steps on the demo site and the behavior was not as you described so, possibly it was a bug in version 2.2.9.6 but not in the current version, though I don't recall any recent changes in the relevant code. 

If the url exists it continues to append 1s so the third post with the name Test Foo resulted in the url ~/11test-foo.aspx not ~/1test-foo.aspx (as you reported) and if I try to force it to use ~/1test-foo.aspx it does prevent me and warns that the url already exists. 

Best,

Joe

Cool, btw, today I implemented the config option to append the date to blog urls to help avoid url collisions if different blogs have the same post title. So this option wil be in the next release and will be in svn trunk within a day or so. 

Best,

Joe
