Custom URLs can't start with a date or number anymore?

My whole site is designed on using the date as the custom URL for a gallery. The old ones still work, but I can no longer do this now?! It insists on capital letter as the first character. Please fix this!

    On man, I've 100's of galleries starting with the date. This will be a disaster going forward.

    It's the URL, not the gallery name, but yeah, it's a disaster if that is your nomenclature.

    I suspect that none of you have actually tried it. You can do this, there's no "disaster". rolleyes1.gif

    I just created this test gallery with the numerical name.

    Maybe disaster is too strong a word. But no, I can't create a gallery with a custom URL that does not begin with a capital letter. The box highlights red and a message below states "Name needs to start with a capital letter."

    EDIT: I went ahead and hit create anyway, and it did it regardless. So the error is in error. Either way it's a bug. :-)

    Thanks Andy, good to know.

    I'm doing nothing but cosmetic in NewSmug. All content changes are done in Legacy.

    I just wanted to post an update that Andy's link says an "Error" and when I try to create a gallery without a capital it does not allow me to create it regardless. Please fix, as I would prefer all of my URLs to be lowercase and number oriented as I have galleries set that way. Or please direct me to more about a fix. Thank you.

    Andy when I clicked on your link it took me to your custom 404 Page Not Found.

    Andy only had that up for a short period, and then deleted the gallery, because we all know, Andy is neat and tidy!
