But that is the issue. How do I stop those those trailing spaces at login? I use this authentication script to be able to allow members to connect to a gameserver and with the trailing spaces, they can bypass the character limits by creating ghost accounts, thereby having unlimited player characters.

I need to be able to stop this.

Any advise,

When I login to my dev site, and look at the username retrieved from the login form ($vbulletin->GPC['vb_login_username']) it has already been trimmed of any leading/trailing spaces.

How are your users logging onto the game server...are they required to manually enter their username?

They enter their username and password into the game and the game pings the auth.php file on the webserver and depending on the response, it either logs you in, says wrong information or says you've been banned.

Okay, then the code used for the game login would have to be edited to trim the usernames entered.

This is what I sent to vBulletin.com Support:

And this is the response I got:

When I asked which file I needed to modify, they basically stated that I needed to ask over here because it dealt with modifying the original code.

Anyhow, any insight?

Can you give a link to the vBulletin product you are using for the game server login?

I would speak to the owner(s) of that site then, as the issue would likely have to be addressed by them.
