Alphanumeric User IDs Finally Working

I have finally implemented some changes to make it possible for people whose user IDs are not purely numerical to use the site. If your Nike URL contains something like 4ac5d135-7700-41c3-b54c-9478f412d051 (I made that up, that’s not an actual user ID), the site used to partially match one of the numbers and then complain that it can’t find the user. This now works.

There will be more changes over the next few weeks, and I will have to take the site down every now and again when I need to make changes to the server. If you see erratic behavior on the site, please try to shift-reload the page and then try again. That should fix any issues with cached scripts that may have been changed in the meantime.
