Invalid Characters in User Name

[BobBong]

The chat system assumes all usernames are restricted to A-Z, 0-9, blank (space), and period...

Appearantly, at some point the restrictions were lifted for username registrations on the message boards allowing usernames to contain characters outside those bounds, such as underscores, exclaimation points, astrisks, etc ... the chat gateway simply won't allow those, but could be easily modified with less or even no character filtering.

Hope this helps.

It does help, Hope all is well in Ron Land.

BobBong Reviewed by BobBong on 10-12-2006. Invalid Characters in User Name I wanted to use the chatroom but it keeps giving me this message when I click on it. I guess its the underscore in my name but am not sure. I wish I knew that when I created my name but I didnt. Is this the problem? Rating: 5
