A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!

and on the form.

Really? The form wasn't updated unless you logged off? I'm learning a lot today!

ita will have to put in a fix for the periods-in-a-username problem. I can look at it, and maybe figure out how to fix it, but she's the only one who can update those functions.

I've been having it intermittently since the time Teppy reported. Last time was about twenty minutes ago.

I bop to Wittgenstein. -- Nutty

I suspect the form's not taking any punctuation in the user name, somehow. If PMM and Steph's full stops stopped it, then my problem's probably the hypen.

Interesting.

Jon, I noticed your code in Technology, and this part:

$body = 'username: ' . $_user->name

made me think -- what happens to interpolated variables in PHP which have dots in them?

I mean as

$x = $firstname . $lastname

is the code to smoosh two vars together, what happens if one of the vars contains a dot itself? I'm sure I'm barking up the wrong tree but it could explain it.

Thanks for all the fish.

My husband had a problem with the ballot, too (he ended up sending an e-mail, correctly, I hope) and his name has an apostrophe.
