NotTheUsernameThatIWant Posted September 20, 2012 Posted September 20, 2012 why commercial and top-quality forum engine disallows an "|" character in login names and username ? Other free forum engines such as phpBB3 and vBuletin have no problems with this characters. Many people want to use "|" character as clan tags separation: "cTF|Someone" and this fact alone makes that i cannot use IPB forum engine and many communities where are clans also can't.According to ASCII Codes:Char Dec Oct Hex| 124 0174 0x7cWhy it isn't supported ? Can you please change this ?
Hexsplosions Posted September 22, 2012 Posted September 22, 2012 I've run a clan without this character being available. Why not just add a custom profile field for the clan tag so affiliated clans can register and still have their "identity" visible?

Mat Barrie Posted September 24, 2012 Posted September 24, 2012 or edit Characters allowed in usernames and add that. like a-z A-Z 0-9 . | You can't. It's one of roughly 20 characters that IP.Board is hard-coded to reject for some reason.
Mat Barrie Posted September 24, 2012 Posted September 24, 2012 It's not mentioned anywhere so it's not surprising you didn't know that. Have a look at /admin/sources/classes/member/memberFunctions.php around line 653 - there's a quite large array in the username clean function which causes an error during registration.
