Sorry in advance for the newbie question. I'm new to UBBThreads, and I just did my first major installation at JeffersonCoast.com. I found a real problem for my users: unlike your own board, the version I installed won't allow the display name to contain a space; it requires an underscore, but the user doesn't know that until they make the mistake and get an error screen. I want to fix the form so it says "Use underscore instead of spaces." How do I do that? Where? Or can I just force the code to accept the spaces somehow?

Hi,

Welcome smile

Under control panel >> registration settings

Allow Special Characters in Display Names?

Tick the box against this option, save and then users will be able to use special characters including a space.
