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.

Am I supposed to be unable to have a number less than five in my refresh box in Message Centre now? Because it was still set to three today. I've changed it.

ita did the changes manually, so you might've just been missed.

Fair enough if it was manual manual. But if there was some kind of programmatic "update users set update_time = 5 where update_time < 5" then something went wrong with it, I'd say.
