MORE PROBLEMS!!!!

Now it is not letting me use Christmas Wapping!, which, btw, is a RECYCLED username from a username I had a couple of years ago!!!!

Sorry I'm also having issues with it, won't let me change you to Christmas Wrapping! and not sure why?

I've changed it to 'Christmas Wrapping'. For whatever reason, exclamation marks, and it seems all special characters such as "%^ etc, are forbidden values in usernames. Probably an overzealous safeguard to prevent injection attacks, even though not all of them can be used like that.

Could it also be a hidden username length limit? So it rejects long ones?

No, I tested the rest on my username as well. The wording is 'value is not allowed'

and then fml, I decided to confirm again the minimum character length that always used to plague me on the old site, and it turns out emojis are also forbidden now. So thanks for that.

That was Brer's fault tbh

too busy tearing up the board's innards (read: trying to get it to actually follow the display name settings in the Admin CP which it doesn't because I shouldn't be allowed a 2 character username and yet, I am! While also seeing if I can edit this thing /^(([\p{L}\p{M}\p{N}_\.\-,]+) ?)+$/u to give me my emoji back while simultaneously not allowing hostile cyberattacks to nuke our database because I allow 'Christmas WAPing;sp_send_db_email spamattacker@gmail.com TABLE usernames & TABLE passwords' to be a valid username)

Hypothetically, if I were Invision, I'd just put all the input validation on the backend and let my customers use whatever characters they want in their display names because I know that's possible and even easy with parameterised queries but apparently I'm a better software engineer than them so...

Please manually change my name to "Snakin' Stevens", Iz! I should be allowed to have a Christmas username!

I regret nothing

Down with emojis in usernames x

I briefly changed it last night to ‘Pink’s Number One Fan’ but sadly I think Michael logged off before he noticed

Let's just employ Iz to build our next forum using his own algorithmic code and we all can be whoever we want to be even if the thing we want to be we can't irl.

Except TheSnake who will still always just have to be TheSnake, obvz.

My emoji has returned!*

Keeping the Iz-sama as part of my username though because figuring that out helped my ego.

*currently literally only that emoji is allowed, I'll take others on request, I'm a little wary of regexes claiming to cover all emojis because I don't know enough about them (though I'm sure I can figure it out with a bit of reading) and there are a couple of characters in the Admin CP that it does really advise against allowing so I'd rather keep it under control.

as celebration, I will indeed honour Meekul's final request and add the exclamation mark until such time as someone informs me that there's a really clever SQL injection scheme that relies on a ! that will henceforth turn the Christmas WAPing! into the Christmas Happening!

ChrIzmasStar 🌟 has returned!

THANK YOU IZ!!!!!! BROTHER DEAREST!!!

The Yettening and Christmas WAPening unearthing usetname problems on the cp though!! Iconic
