Tried to update my profile and it (the forum) doesn't like me having the backtick in my username, however I'm rather loathed to change it, as it's kind of stuck for my online persona.

Obviously such characters were fine whilst the Gallery site still used phpBB (forked), so any change of loosening up the allowed characters for usernames for such unfortunate persons such asd myself? :D

Just never forget your password ;) Or ofcours make a new user. But strange error though!

Is it such a sin to have a "`" in the username (which was perfectly fine under phpBB1+Postnuke)? :(
