Hey,

Just wondering if anybody can answer this one.

Why does the VSD not allow underscores or hypens in the page id?

I keep getting an "Illegal characters were removed from the Page ID" error message.

Underscores and hyphens are needed so that the url is readable to humans and helps with the site seo, I don't understand why the program doesn't allow it.
I add underscores & hyphens to the page properties after the message is displayed and the url seems to stick, but why the illegal error message?

Version 6.1 which we hope will be ready next month, does allow you to use underscores and hyphens in your pageid now.

same, same.. it will take an underscore and (save/publish) if I 'edit' the page ID after page is created.
