Your current site name is ninkendo - this name is used for Answers, Private Messages, My Games, logging in, and all other activities except the Mesage Boards and Contributions. Your current contributor name is SHINE GET 64 - this name is only used for game contributions (FAQs, reviews, game data, images). Based on your current user names, these account names are currently available: ninkendo SHINE_GET_64 SHINEGET64 SHINE_GET SHINEGET However, these are just suggestions; you can change your account name to any valid and available name you want. Honestly, coding this message with the different suggestions sounds harder than adding support for spaces in username. Nothing is ever as easy as it seems though. It seems like spaces haven't been allowed for a long time? Most likely they have some system that only allows alphanumeric, _, - and that's it. So you can't just encode spaces as a special char or %20 or something, and convert it in the HTML. You could do some trick like "____Aasjd23j1d1j2d___" represents a space, but that's kinda ridiculous. I would personally go for that anyway, or try harder to find another workaround to let people keep their 20+ year old usernames, but it's easy to see how they decided it wasn't worth it. --- _foolmo_ he says listen to my story this maybe are last chance <cite>foolm0r0n posted [p:966088481] in rip space ...
