User names

Post by asdasdg »

OK. MD, I have a suggestion for your site.

Add dissalowed charecters to your user name registers.

Diisalowed charecters should be:
.
;
/
@
:
'
"
(any punctuation marks basicly excluding spaces)

Do these characters present a problem?

Aparently.......

There are several users that I can not acces profiles on.
The message it displays is:
"The URI you have submitted has dissalowed charecters."

If I go to the User Control Panel > Usergroups > Registered Users, aren't I accessing all registered users? Are there users who don't show up in that listing?

Im not talking about the forums. I am talking about the gallery. Some users have dissalowed charecters in there names and I can not access their profiles.

I'm confused about what you mean about their "profiles". In the Gallery, I can do a search and just leave the User Name box empty and hit "go" , to display all Gallery users. But if I click on a user, all I see are a list of levels created by a particular user, not a profile. What am I not understanding?

EDIT:

Nevermind. I see what you're talking about now. I just brought the list up and clicked on @=magnus=@ and got the screen you were talking about.

Hey MD, when you get the time, could you implement this new feature or solve the problem? I am getting kinda frustrated with those invalid characters in the URL. (btw, I typed this without looking at my keyboard.)

@MD - I personally don't care about this issue but I also don't see anything different, so I don't know what you mean by "better".

If you go to the gallery and do a search for @=magnus=@, you're still going to get the invalid page error msg. I image that any other user names that contain the offending characters will get you the same results.

@asdasdg12 - If you know the users name (ie: @=magnus=@), just enter "magnus" into the search box, and you'll get what you want. This method should work as long as the username contains some legitimate alphanumeric characters.

I tried doing a search for @=magnus=@ and instead for getting that other error msg, I got a "None" for the Users Matching Your Search.

You're getting warmer MD :-)
