When I try and insert a user with a name like 'Crawler [Google]' it throws:

	<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?> <font face="Arial" size=2>
	<p>Microsoft VBScript runtime </font> <font face="Arial" size=2>error '800a000d'</font>
	<p>
	<font face="Arial" size=2>Type mismatch: 'HTMLEncode'</font>
	<p>
	<font face="Arial" size=2>/scirranew/forum/HttpAPI.asp</font><font face="Arial" size=2>, line 1369</font>

Any help appreciated, bit stumped on this one. It's inserting the user into forum_authors ok. If I remove the URL_encode function from the username, it throws the error:

<font face="Arial" size=2>/scirranew/forum/HttpAPI.asp</font><font face="Arial" size=2>, line 1369</font>

Which is less descriptive unfortunatly :S

URL encoding it doesnt work either, I can filter out all the chars so at the end of the day it's not that important I suppose

Edit: Works fine filtering a few special chars, so don't worry about supporting this.
