A MyBB question
I run a forum on MyBB, but alot of the users who are on it have come from an vBulletin board. Anyway, a User wants to use certain characters in their username which VBulletin has allowed, but which MyBB is claiming to be invalid. Is there a way to force these characters to work (i tried changing it manually in the AdminCP but it still won't let me) or will i have to tell said person they will have to come up with a new Username?

RE: A MyBB question
What character is it? Most of the eXx1l3d characters are HTML characters, and I suppose they've been disallowed as a security measure (ie, if a dev forgot to call htmlspecialchars on a username), but it should be fine in general to allow it. If you're still a bit security conscious, you could get him to sign up with a different username, then change it in the DB.

RE: A MyBB question
Open up inc/datahandlers/user.php, find:
replace with
From what I can tell, the double quote character isn't restricted. Removing the comma restriction should be safe - I think it's only there to prevent a bit of an issue with adding names to the Buddy List (but that's rarely ever used anyway).
Lol, feels like I'm on the MyBB Community forums :P

RE: A MyBB question
I probably would suggest against using nulled scripts on the internet - for one, it's much easier for people to target (if you use a hacked Windows, it's somewhat more difficult for someone to bust you).
But if there's going to be little publicity, then go for it!
