Did I mention we have people with @ in their names?
One user. I'm sure we could ask him to change it.
You're wrong about River. River's not on the ship. They didn't want her here, but she couldn't make herself leave. So she melted... Melted away. They didn't know she could do that, but she did.

Yeah, that's a good idea.
How hard would it be to make some characters illegal in usernames?

I'm still a bit confused as to why we're recording, or using, people's names in the format:
John H <john@something.com>
surely if we just use the
john@something.com
bit the problem goes away?
Or, alternatively, why don't we run a quick regex over the name we're inserting, the bit in red here:
John H <john@something.com>
so that, even if my chosen username is:
J_@h.n _.*._ ~-H-~
it gets stripped back to the legal characters before being used.

This is all reminding me of how much I enjoyed my Perl class. I only wish I had some practical application for it at the moment. (For the fun, plus the possibility of a paycheck.)

Robert, if you're interested in Perl, you should check out Perlmonks, [link] -- lots of good stuff and helpful people. It's like here, only with less Buffy.

I fixed the punctuation problem on the voting page. The validation now occurs before appending the user name to the email.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
msbelle would like me to let y'all know that she hasn't been able to get on the board for a couple of hours, trying Mozilla and IE -- it times out. Me, I'm having no problems.

Apparently Deb Grabien and meara are having issues too.

Me too, on netscape 4.7 (on Unix) - I also got a 'timed out' page.
