 * I opened another thread where I asked how to do that in the troubleshooting section
   but no one seems to be able to help and I really couldn’t figure that one out.
   So I’ll put in a feature request ’cause I think it could be pretty useful to 
   others to.
    feature: possibility to choose the character in permalinks that replaces
   the spaces in post titles. example: `archives/the-permalink.html` becomes: `archives/
   the_permalink.html` I don’t know how hard the coding would be, but the GUI implementation
   could just be an input box in the permalink structure panel where you pick the
   character you want, or a drop down menu if for some reason you need more control
   over which symbol could be used.

 * I should have clarified…here is what line 100 should look like:
    $name = preg_replace(‘/[
   ^a-z0-9_]/’, ”, $name);
