Hi

i'm running v7.9 with access and am seeing some strange things with usernames...

many of the usernames stored in the db use ascii special character codes... ie "p" for example rather than a "p" etc...

i'm using the uernames in the forum db for other things on my site and am seeing problems mapping the username to the database...

however, not all users have the ascii codes in the usernames..

Any idea why this should be happening ?

The usernames need to be run through some of the filters found in the file functions/functions_filters.asp

To decode the usernames back use the function decodeString found at the end of the file.
