How to restrict certain user name characters
 

Hi,

We just searched the forums to see if there was hack or mod to make sure users cannot use certain characters in thier user names upon registration

such as a space, comma, period, / < { and so on...

The reason for this is that we have a uploader that is connected to the registration system and when users go to use those registered names with the illegal characters the uploader redirects them.

Lets say that if I signed up as Cool Kat that would be rejected and a pop up or notification would appear and some how state that a underscore should be used so Cool_Kat or CoolKat, would be acceptable.

This would help me greatly because I don't want the %20 and other weird html too be accepted.

Thanks, I'm a newbie excuse me if overstated what I'm looking for

Thank you,

cant you go into your admin cp and put in stuff that they can't use for usernames?

It didn't hold with symbols and characters , but i will recheck. :)

Thanks
