    Username Bug

    I submitted these comments in another thread but maybe if there's a new thread started it will get someone's attention?

    in the formatting.php file I set $strict to True to limit characters that can be used in usernames. using characters other than ., -, and @ throws an error message during the registration process. if you use a space though, the system accepts the new username BUT DELETES THE SPACE WHEN IT RECORDS THE ENTRY!

    So if you register using "GSN test user" as your username, it will actually put you into the system as GSNtestuser and when you go to change your password or do something else it won't recognize you if you put in "GSN test user" but you won't know to put in GSNtestuser which is how you have been recorded into the database.

    How do we get the system to generate a fault for a username with a space in it?? Is there a way to make it spit out the same error message for a space by listing the space character in the sanitize_usernames subroutine or whatever that little bit of code is called? so far, all i've done there is to change the false to true after $strict.

    thanks,
    Bart
