Mod to limit username character types?

Hi,

A problem we are facing is people creating usernames using non-standard ASCII characters, which make our forums to look unprofessional, IMHO. Fresh example:

ëðwîlðsöñ

How can we block users from using this kind of characters?

Thanks,
Gabriel.

look in the user registration options in your admin cp. You can toggle the settings so they can't use those characters in a username


Quote:
Username Regular Expression
You may require the username to match a PCRE-type regular expression.

(Do not start or end the expression with an escape character)

Examples:

^[A-Z]+$ - Characters from A-Z only
^[A-Z ]+$ - Characters from A-Z including space
^[A-Z0-9 ]+$ - Alphanumeric characters including space
^((?!&#\d+;)[\x20-\x7E])+$ - ASCII characters from 32-127

See PHP.net for more information on regular expressions.

Awesome, this was exactly what I was looking for.
