 * This looks like a really useful tool for a very real need. I have installed it
   on my multisite with network activate. It masks the username with a random set
   of letters and numbers. When you click the link it generates a 404 error.
 * Any chance we can make this multisite friendly?

 * OK, I installed a completely new WP multisite, activated the plugin networkwide
   and it works out of the box without any problems.
 * Mabye there’s a conflict with the theme you’re using or with another plugin.
 * Can you please post a lik to your site?
 * Regards
