So, it's possible that using the parentheses is what makes this an invalid user name. *Especially if a given site does not want to try maintaining a blacklist of characters or coding "escape" translations to allow the characters but prevent malicious use. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not a big deal though! I'm just curious Right but have any of those been added since the change to the new Forum? The closest I saw in your search was still a month before the change (and that was a likely Spam account - based on 0 posts remaining and the numbers used in the name which are common to the Spam accounts). Just because this wasn't blocked before the change does not mean it isn't blocked now (and I could be totally wrong about it being a Malware mitigation). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
