Ok, i am an admitted cut&paste Queen and very new to Modx
So this is probably obvious to someone else, but for the life of me i am not seeing it.

I have ModX version 0.9.6.1 WebloginPE V1.3.1
I have spent the last week on this, several hours a day
When i first set this up, it was not working at all
I have figured out what not to do... and i am still looking for what ’to do’...lol
I have learned Not to cut and paste into TinyMCE.. because it chews up the code and spits it out wrong
i have learned not to use ’ but to use ` instead
(Never even heard of a backtick before last night and hours of searching through the forums )
I am not using friendly url’s

I have my user list set up finally
http://deviantdesigns.org/index.php?id=128

But when i click on their picture, i get this
http://deviantdesigns.org/index.php?id=128?service=viewprofile&username=jesika

The url seems to be correct, but what is displayed is a 404

On page 128 this is all i have

[!WebLoginPE? &type=`users` &usersList=`Administrators:default:default:internalKey:ASC:webgroup(Site Admins)||Deviant Designs Members:default:default:username:ASC:webgroup(Registered Users)` &customFields=`website, aim, msn, address1, city, favorite_color, demographic, emailprivate, aimprivate, msnprivate` &viewProfileTpl=`my_profile_tpl`!]

In my chunks i have the following chuncks
# my_profile_tpl (harvested from searching the forums)
# onlineOuter (From SD’s Demo page)
# onlineUser (From SD’s Demo page)
# UserOuterTpl (from the default folder)
# UserTpl (from the default folder)
# ViewProfileTpl (from the default folder)

I tried the advice here
http://modxcms.com/forums/index.php/topic,21718.0.html

With just the call of
[!WebLoginPE? &type=`users` &viewProfileTpl=`my_profile_tpl` !]

And both attempts still caused the url to look correct, but issue a 404

Am i missing a chunk? did i set my call wrong?
I hope someone can help, cause this is really driving me nuts
Thanks in advance for anyone who can help me out

If you change the second ? to & in the url manually, so it is :
http://deviantdesigns.org/index.php?id=128&service=viewprofile&username=-leora-
it then works.
I read somewhere about having two ? causes MODx a problem.
What happens if you turn on FURL’s? (this would remove the first)

Here is a method to quickly fix this issue which I use to determine the correct seperator for the urls. It checks for friendly and then sets [+link_Sep+] placeholder accordingly, which is then used in your templates in spots where the ? is hard coded.

1. In your webloginpe snippet in the modx manager, paste the following code somewhere at the top:

// url and page link placeholders ///////////////////////////////
if($modx->config['friendly_urls'] =="1"){
 $seperator ="?";
}else{
 $seperator ="&";
}
// set placeholder =  [+link_Sep+]
$modx->setPlaceholder('link_Sep',$seperator);  
/////////////////////////////////////////////////

2. Modify your templates to use the [+link_Sep+] placeholder instead of a ? in the links.
ex: webloginpe.templates.php (around line 434)

$wlpeUsersTpl = '<div class="wlpeUserPage">
                <div class="wlpeUserPagePhoto">
                        <a href = "[~[*id*]~][+link_Sep+]service=viewprofile&username=[+view.username+]">
                                <img src="[+view.photo+]" alt="[+view.photo+]" title="[+view.username+]" height="100" width="100" />
                        </a>
                        <a href = "[~[*id*]~][+link_Sep+]service=viewprofile&username=[+view.username+]">
                                <p class="wlpeUserPageUsername">[+view.username+]</p>
                        </a>
                </div>
                <div class="wlpeUserPageUserContent">           
                        <p class="wlpeUserPageAttrUsername"><span class="wlpeViewUsersUsername">Username</span>: [+view.username+]</p>
                        <p class="wlpeUserPageAttrAge"><span class="wlpeViewUsersAge">Age</span>: [+view.age+]</p>
                        <p class="wlpeUserPageAttrLastLogin"><span class="wlpeViewUsersLastLogin">Current Status</span>: [+view.status+]</p>
                        <blockquote class="wlpeUserPageAttrComment">[+view.comment+]</blockquote>
                </div>
        </div>';
