How do I cange what is allowed as someones alias when they sign up. I want them to be able to use a period in the middle or clan tags and such.

Edit modules/Your_Account/index.php - find this line

Code:

    if ((!$username) || ($username=="") || (ereg("[^a-zA-Z0-9_-]",$username))) $stop = "<center>"._ERRORINVNICK."</center><br>";

and change it to

Code:

    if ((!$username) || ($username=="") || (ereg("[^a-zA-Z0-9_-\.]",$username))) $stop = "<center>"._ERRORINVNICK."</center><br>";

I haven't tested it but I believe it should work.

It was going to let me register with this name though.

[CL-AN]Test.test

Would it be bad to let spaces in there too? Basically remove all limitations on names.
