Hi

When a user's surname ends in a S the software still add's an apostraphy s to the surname when generating a journal name, profile page etc. E.g. Carol Sayers will have a default journal called Carol Sayers's Journal and her profile page and content within her page like wall etc have the same problem. These should read Carol Sayers' Journal, Wall, Profile Page etc. This is not a problem for surnames ending in any other letter of the alphabet. Is there any coding out there that can be applied to ensure this does not happen for surnames ending in S.

The current behaviour is correct, you only need to drop the final S if the name is plural.

If Carol Sayers has a journal it's Carol Sayers's journal.
If the Sayers family have one it's the Sayers' journal.
