Can't update my profile! - All with this problem, please read Mod reply.

[element]

I tried to update my profile and it gives me an error saying my username has invalid characters. Must be the ® at the end of it. I would accept just plain removal of that ® if that's ok with you guys. Or you can change the forum software to accept the extended ascii set, up to you folks how you'd like to fix it.

K thanks.

I'm getting the same error, from either the _ or - it would seem.

I'm having the same trouble and I have no special characters in my name.

My signature is messed up some how and I want to fix it but it won't let me update the profile.
Could it be the space in my name?

Thanks mods, I can update my profile now no problems. Plus I think my name looks better without the silly ® at the end hehe.

The space is considered a special character.
