I just happened to discover a method to track a user without having to deal with the painful "That is not a valid username" glitch: 

Go to FilmSpot, log in your account (the accounts from here are inter-connected), go to a post of the user you wish to track or a contacts list with that respective person, and press the "+ Be friends" button. It will automatically direct to your "People I'm Tracking" page where - voila! - that specific person is where it belongs! Simple as that!

EDIT: DO NOT press the "Watch" button. Also, if the person you are trying to track doesn't appear on your "People I'm Tracking" page, try again - it might actually work... I'm now going to see how this thing works on TV.com...

I went to your profile, Viennoiserie, at Filmspot... there, I get a Javascript popup box that says "that is not a valid username." :P *kicks Gamespot & Filmspot* Edit: It just worked for me to add you at TV.com.

well it seems that filmspot works given that you use the +(be friends) button, tv.com also works with the normal tracking button;and mp3.com also works...altho most ppl have their profiles set to private on there...

He is saying it works on the FORUMS, not on the profile page - still, I don't understand why I am not getting the pop-up on the forums. I'm essentially doing the same thing, just from a different place.

It's working no where else except TV.com. I repeat, ONLY at TV.com is it working. Gamespot and Filmspot tracking is not working. I hope I was some help.
