No fancy names allowed

Hi it didn't tell me when I registered that names such as Hellspawn were not allowed.

This left me wondering why my account wasn't registered. I think this should be made clear to people wishing to register

I should probably modify the templates to do this but am reluctant to generate a custom build of the software.

Carl, without wanting to teach grandma, the code change is pretty trivial.

The change occurs in the languages/en/ucp.php file. The registration text string is easy to find and would just need the addition of the necessary block of text.

Code: Select all

// Privacy policy and T&C
$lang = array_merge($lang, array(
            'TERMS_OF_USE_CONTENT' => 'By accessing...'
Of course, you need also to modify your site update script to preserve this modification between updates, which is rather less trivial, and, no doubt, the reason you are reluctant to do it! :D

Grandma knew thanks but she isn't even home yet let alone considering the change.

Even if I made the change its only a warning so effort would still be needed.
