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.
Y'all see the man hanging out of the spaceship with the really big gun? Now I'm not saying you weren't easy to find. It was kinda out of our way, and he didn't want to come in the first place. Man's lookin' to kill some folk. So really it's his will y'all should worry about thwarting.

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.

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!

No idea, but as Elena pointed out, it's not just dots so I don't think that's it.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
John, I think it's the regexp:
"/^([a-z ]*^<)?([a-z0-9._-])+@([a-z0-9.-])+(\\.)([a-z]{2,4})(>)?$/i"
for checking a valid e-mail address that's choking on name punctuation.
