Anyone who has an apostrophe in their username, please read

[Musashi]

Hello everyone,

A username glitch has recently been discovered. Anyone who has an apostrophe in their user name and likes a post/blog comment creates an error that may end up hiding the post/blog comment they liked. Because of this, we ask that anyone with an apostrophe in their name please change their name to something else. If you are unable to change your name, please contact any admin and we will happily do it for you.

You'll have two weeks to change your name before apostrophes are blacklisted. If you haven't changed your name by then, we're unsure what'll happen to it.

Feel free to ask any questions you may have about this.

Musashi

Would this include my name I just went to try to change it but can't(last change was 24 days ago)

 

[Musashi]

Yes it would. Just let me know what you want it changed to and I'll take care of it.

 

[Fatima Shadow Frost Witch]

Well what about BMGF's Anime Master be kept as it is but remove the ' and s parts of it?

 

[Musashi]

Changed your name to that.

 

[Pain Split]

Do you suppose it's possible to bring back the liked post or un-hide it or something?

 

[Musashi]

They come back on their own after people change their names.

 

[bandage_scizors]

Does usernames with underscores like me affected?

 

[Musashi]

No, those are fine.

 

[Cybersai]

Is my username affected as well? I've had it since 2010 when the trauma of Gliscor leaving Ash's roster was too great to bear.

I'm not sure what to change it to.

It does effect your name.

If there is any justice in this world it will be dollar and yen signs next.

Nope. Just apostrophes.

I'm assuming this has something to do with the coding, but on Zelda Wiki, we have the <nowiki> tag to cancel out coding. Can't we just implement something like that?

I mean, it's probably something more complex than just imputing HTML coding, but I think it still should run along the same lines. Naturally, I'm probably so clueless about everything ever, but what's preventing us from adding something that disables the forum from recognizing it and causing potential problems?

 

[System Error]

So is this a problem with the latest version of add-on, I take it? Because I know this wasn't an issue prior. And who do we have to complain to/punch out in order to get it fixed and allow the apostrophe-loving masses to roam free?

While this particular bug is recent, we have reason to suspect that they're related to a plethora of other possible bugs. We're going to save ourselves some trouble on that front.

They're not coming back.

 

[Data-Roxas]

periods, however, are not affected, I take it? I hope it doesn't spread to periods, for I find great joy in being an executable file.

 

[Misheard Whisper]

I see no way how it might possibly be related, but it's conceivable: I'm unable to return my username to 'Misheard Whisper'. When I try, it gives me this message:

That username is already in use or does not meet the administrator's standards. If you are Misheard Whisper and you have forgotten your password, click here.

Any relation, mayhaps? (I've checked, and as far as I can tell the username wasn't taken while I wasn't wearing it.)
