Hello all, a member pointed out today that if I click on his username in the user info block and look at the real name of the user is shows as COLAPS ?????
This is also the name for many other users?
Also everyone`s email appears to be [ Only registered users can see links on this board! Get registered or login! ] ????
Any idea`s all
Cheers and thanks for any help.

Just a quick update I decide to remove the user with the [ Only registered users can see links on this board! Get registered or login! ] email as I noticed for some reason the account did not have a username?
Anyway the account is deleted so now when I click on members online I get this....

There is no available info for

Account Not Found

some of the characters in some usernames are breaking the shortlink taps (probably in multiple places throughout the entire site)

did you have to hack the system to allow usernames such as this? or is this really an allowed character in RN usernames?

Yes originally I did, so if I changed the pipe line for a low case L all should be ok? Very Happy

Thanks for pointing out the issue Cool

yes that would fix it, although I'm not sure what effects changing those usernames would have. definitely backup 1st before trying anything.
