SARAH ! Posted July 7, 2008 Share Posted July 7, 2008 Why is it that some usernames don't work in the forums? My account on geocaching.com doesn't work here. I had to make a new account just for here because my usual account doesn't work for here. I feel like I broke a rule. Am I even allowed to have two accounts? Quote Link to comment
+trainlove Posted July 7, 2008 Share Posted July 7, 2008 Special characters are a problem in names in the forums. I know & is one real big one. The forum software is not written by grundspeak so what's a legal username there is not necessarily a legal one here. But in most cases it works. What doesn't work is trying to PM a message to someone with a special character in their name. One has to resort to emailing from geocaching.com's profile if you need to do that.

+Prime Suspect Posted July 7, 2008 Share Posted July 7, 2008 There are also allowed length differences between the two systems. GC.com allows longer names than the forums do (unless that's been recently fixed). Quote Link to comment
