Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!

It's working snappily for me.

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!

There's bugs when someone tries to register with certain punctuation in their user name. Two things I've seen recently:

  • An apostrophe -- The validation URL doesn't work. I'm sure there are other delimiting problems.

  • A comma -- the confirmation email gets messed up as it gets divided into two addresses. For instance, if someone at email address joe@shmoe.com registers with the user name "Joe, Ruler of Shmoeville", the confirmation email address gets parsed as "Joe, Ruler of Shmoeville <joe@shmoe.com>", which incorrectly gets split into two addresses. It still works, but it's awkward.

We could try to patch each situation to avoid problems, or we could code to disallow certain punctuation in user names. I'd suggest the latter.

I like the latter too, Jon. I'll get on it.

How goes the prettification of the quote pages?

You mean the thing I completely forgot to do?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

And perhaps not coincidentally, the thing I mostly forgot I ever mentioned.
