i was wanting to allow someone to use an aposterphie in there user id but it looks like the forums will not allow it. i tried to do some looking around and found someone who was wanting to add something to not be allowed but nothing to fix it to allow it. I went through a couple of the files and found where it was listed and took it out and reloaded the files. now u can register but when u go to log in it wont let u. so what i am asking is how to fix that so someone can use it in their user id and be able to log in.
using newest version of snitz. with only 1 mod in it which is the one for pm's. if that helps.
