YabbSe doesn't recognize # sign in username?

[Austin]

When PM'ing it seems to not be able to read the # sign.  One of my members has a username of "Sundin #1"... when someone goes to private message him, it says it is sending to "Sundin" ... it can't read past the # sign.  Another one of my members "Lucky#13" has the same problem.  When I for instance go to PM her, it says it is sending to "Lucky"...

This is causing a lot of problems as members cannot contact other members.  Is there a fix for this?

you can use this signs in name but not in username! # is a special char!

Are you sure their USERname not DISPLAYname has this symbol?

Positive.  

They signed up with the # sign in it no problem.  

[Austin]

Example:

Username:  Lucky#13  

Name:         Lucky#13        
This is the displayed name that people will see.

So... whats the deal with this?  Anything that can be done?

Does it work to this guy?

Also try replacing the # with %23

PMing works for him because his registered name is "Sundin" ... with no #'s.  He then changed his display name to "David".

Login under the name and pass: test

Go to PM this person: Lucky#13  ... that is her display name as well as her registered username.

http://www.leafsforever.ca/community/index.php?board=;action=viewprofile;user=Lucky%2313

When you click the link to send her a PM (Send this member a private message), you will see it says it is sending to "Lucky" not "Lucky#13" ... YabbSe cannot read past the #.  

Nobody notices when they are PM'ing members with a #, and get an error.  Its causing much confusion and hassle..!

action=imsend;to=Sundin%20#1
action=viewprofile;user=Sundin+#1

i think the # should be url encoded

[Austin]

i think the # should be url encoded

Well it looks as if its not URL encoded...

action=imsend;to=Sundin%20#1
action=viewprofile;user=Sundin+#1

Thats what it should be if it was URL encoded?

Oh I feel stupid now.

It's treating the #1 as an anchor spefication - ie. index.php#5 for categories....

Hmmm...
