Upgrade error: fullname.substr is not a function

[eesty]

Hi,

I've been trying to run an upgrade from 1.14.3 to 1.16.1 however the upgrade is failing at the "Create fullname search set" stage.

The error reads:

    [##           ] (1000/4613) 21% Error occurred

The error suggests to me that there is an issue with someone's full name.

Some background info: my forum was originally a phpbb forum, which migrated to Discourse then finally to NodeBB. It's possible that a legacy username is invalid.

@eesty thanks for reporting, I'll take a look.
