    Alright, maybe this should be in the newbie faq, I don't know, but I ain't a newbie so I'm gonna post here.
    I'm trying to signup for the web-space, can someone tell me what's involved in this? Either way it gives me this error:

    Error
    Invalid characters in username

    Please press 'back' and fix the problem.


    I'm assuming this is becase of the . in my username. I think I PM'd Devore on this, but...no reply, so can anyone help? Also, am I being very stupid :)

    <edited for spelling>

    just make sure you arent using any special characters like the following



    !"£$%^&*(){}~@?><,.


    i am sure there are more, the safest thing to use is _

    Like I explained though, there is a . in my user name, which AFAIK I can't change. Anyone else??
