Name too long

[Maffen2]

My forum name is too long...can someone change it so i can log in with it?

[mattmeck]

state what you want it changed to, that way when a Dev sees it they can change it.

[Wiz]

Changed.

we seriously need a way to prevent people from using spaces and special characters in their forum name. it makes banning/flagging people on servers alot more difficult.

[Wiz]

That reminds me I need to put in #ban by character name to the CVS.

[Shawn319]

please do.. and post the command.cpp in a pm or a post so i can merge it in.

PHP code to check if a string has something other than word characters (0-9a-Z_)


if(preg_match("/\W/", $string) {
error("Invalid characters in name, please use only a-Z 0-9 and _");
}



error() being pseudo code of course... could forward to invalid_name.php or something to spit that out..
