Hi,

I want to add usernames with non-english characters (æ, ø, å) but get an error saying they are no allowed. I knowthis was possible in version 1.0.6 because I have added some users with these characters.

Any easy fix for this?

Also, there is some weird encoding in the database for these characters, Ã¥ = å, ø = à and æ = æ.

Hello,

If theses characters are no more allowed, there is nothing to do unless filling a feature request for it. But I suppose the devs had a good reason to stop their usage.

A database engine is set up with a default character set (and the underlying OS too). Everything should match for characters being processed ok : OS character set, DB character set, PHP code cleaning functions.

May be all of this will be over in 5 years when the entire world would have switched to UTF8 (or so).
