My username causes errors

Nollog

Hey, the slashes in my username cause issues like me not being allowed to edit my profile from the profile page (but I can from /edit), can't change my email address, and minor things like that.

The error I get when attempting to change email address is this:

• Usernames must be 3-20 characters and consist of letters, numbers, and underscores.

https://boards.ie/profile/%2F%5C%2Follog

Is my profile URL which ends in an error "user not found".

It's supposed to be an N (Nollog) if you just want to change it and ignore the issue.

The '\' back slash is probably being treated as an escape character. This is due to sloppy programming by the authors of the new software Boards is running on.

I've updated your username for you so you should be able to update profile. If you run into any issues, let us know here or you can email us at hello@boards.ie

Deja Boo

I am wondering if the space in my username may be an issue as well? I cannot edit anything within my profile without an error message. If so, feel free to smoosh my name together DejaBoo. (If the space is not the issue, just chalk it up to my technology ineptness.)

Thanks for the "how to manuever the site" thread, in feedback... Off to see if there's threads relating to "things I can't figure out yet." Cheers.
