Do you have an idea, witch part of the code i have to change to solve this problem?

Thanks

That's down to character encoding. It's not a subject I am an expert on, but as far as I understand it you need to make sure that the vBulletin server (Apache, MySQL etc) and the LDAP server are using the exact same Unicode encoding then you shouldn't see the corruption.

Sorry I can't be of more help, but it's not something I've experienced with my users.

I tried a lot of Replacement Variables but they didn't work either.

Thanks

The way I tackled this (and the only way to do it as far as I am aware) is look through the code of vBulletin and find every place where a username is ABOUT to be displayed then look for the nearest hook-point before that and write a hook which populates the correct vBulletin variable with the fullname from the user record. Oddly, hooking into the creation process of the "musername" (The marked up username) doesn't seem to work everywhere that a marked up username is displayed and I can't see why.

It is something I'm looking into and if I solve any more areas I'll update the mod.
