use that function on the value within the pm_new_message

filename somewthing like that, that will then hopefully stop you seeingthat value, it should then be ok, let us know. borg may need to lookinto this

is there a way to remedy this?

and... if not... can the user keep the name and ignore the symbols that come up... should still work anyways?

thanks

this is because alter can be used within SQL commands to alter tables

therefore the e is changed into the html equalivent and that is why you get your output.

Hi all,

I have a user in my WWForum that has the name "alter Ego"

His username displays like this - 'alter Ego' instead of "alter Ego"

When you go to PM this user it either shows alter Ego' OR just 'alt'

What is causing this? anyone know? is it thinking its "Alt E" command?

Thank you in advance,
b5s
