Not allowed to have unicode characters in user name
On my askbot app current I can show only latin character name. But my users want to show their user-name/display-name in their own language.
How to do that.
I tried to change my Screen Name from 'Home' to 'মাতবর' it said 'user name can only consist of letters, empty space and underscore'
Here is the screenshot
Actually here user name is screen name. But I propose Screen name can be some different say real name.
thanks

Are users able to create accounts with multibyte usernames? Can you edit your question to include a screenshot of what the usernames look like?

Zahid ( 2012-08-03 22:44:07 -0500 )editI think we had this issue before... the regular expression that is supposed to tell the difference between word and non-word characters may not be working for your type-script.
