archeye and all, I have added a task to the database to investigate the inconsistencies in our member name rules as you have noticed by Sekerob's test. The complexity of the problem is not as straight forward as one would expect. ibsteve2u explains some of the issues with allowing special characters to be used on login. And now the bad news...I do not know when we will have time to investigate this as we have other pressing tasks that need to be dealt with first. Since this would involve a change to the login code, it will require extensive testing. Thank you for your suggestion, -Uplinger I'm new to your project, and was unable to save some of my profile settings, presumably because of these issues (the now infamous *). I also program, so I understand the global concern and restrictions. My only comment to this thread is, "Thank you, uplinger and ibsteve2u; you guys made the most sense without unnecessary chatter. [Uplinger], I appreciate your time, and look forward to your response, as time permits!" Phil |
