Well it's good to see SW is hiring smart developers.

Hello,
Sorry for the inconvenience, but this change was intentional, and initiated a short while ago.

Since months ago, we stopped allowing users to create usernames using the "dash" (-) character.

Only now have we fully enforced this, by removing that "-" character also from usernames that previously contained them. (Replacing each with an "x")

[b]We recommend that you change your current username to something more unique.[/b]

I believe that most other sites, Facebook and Experience Project included, do not allow the use of this "-" character in names.

Kind regards.

😂😂😂

This site is such trash underneath that it can't handle certain characters as an account name! Did they hire 12 year olds for all the backend stuff? 🤣
@------: [c=#BF0080]I agree.
Maybe if you change your username it will fix it..?[/c]

I work for a tech company with literally hundreds of devs and they still run into issues with special characters. I've spent way too much of my life mapping the damn things.

@GoldenWorm: If you have issues with special characters, simply whitelist the ones you think users need and call it a day. Why allow special characters at all? And what the OP has are not even "special" characters.

Very strange!

I imagine either the dark (almost black) pp is to blame though your username is also causing confusion.

Try having a regular name and it'll work. Special characters are always problematic.
