XF 2.1 Will rewriting /members/ as a 404 rule in .htaccess cause issues?

[Dynamic]

Hi everyone,

I have full friendly URL's turned on. I would like to completely hide and disable the /members/ section of my website. I have this rule in .htaccess

RedirectMatch 404 ^/members/.*$ .

Will that cause issues for Xenforo? (as in, the way Xenforo needs to operate.)

Thanks.

You'd have broken links all over the place from user profiles, the tooltips when you hover on a user's avatar/username would break, and it'd likely break the username autocomplete as that uses the members route IIRC

Thanks for the reply Jake. So from a backend point of view it will still be okay?
Thanks.
