Could it be browser cache? It seems you're using firefox - perhaps clear private data under privacy tab? Maybe try Internet explorer to see if fault duplicates in there...

i dunno, but we can try it
clear al cache and test please!

Testing...

At last!!!...

Yeah!!!.... The name have already change. I used the CCleaner, and clear the Cache from my browser, Firefox, and the cache from the web style.!!!

Thanks to everyone that help me with this one. Specially Zuker who check this problem everytime and to moreteavicar who gave me the solution.

Bye... you are the best people.

To allow new chars: http://www.icyphoenix.com/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=1276 (it's a bit changed in the new version, but you can easily recognize it, if not just tell us )


For usernames:

If you just want to change the color, look in the color groups section of you ACP.

If you just want to remove the bold do as follows:

(make a backup )

In includes/functions_groups.php

throughout the file, find:



and remove it. You should find this 5 or 6 times in the file, remove it all the times to avoid usernames to appear in bold. If you have some doubts, remember that the little piece of code will always be in a line that starts with $style_color or $groups_list .


Let me know if this work ^^


(always clear both browser's and styles' cache after a change )

Thanks that works. but what if I want special characters in the name like ™ ∫˜µ˜∫√ß∂ƒ©˙∆˚¬ˆ¨¥†®´∑œ

and stuff.

Ha ha! That would be great, being a physicist I appreciate a little integration - and integration is what forums are for, right

In general, most symbols are stripped from inputs fields, or else in messages, most chars are converted via htmlentities (or the other equivalent function whose name I forget now) to avoid hacks, sql injections and the like.

However. I think there could be a logical reason for excluding the symbols like those above in usernames - displaying these depends on the character set of the browser (indeed, unfortunately, every page you create depends on the fonts the browser can access, so how the text on your site appears on IE in windows will be slightly different to how it appears in Konquerer in linux - quite frustrating if you care about how your site looks in different browsers)... these characters are not part of the standard html character specification... but in the extended special characters. If a browser has just a standard charset, then a square box will be shown (like if you try to view a chinese website, and you happen not to have Chinese fonts installed). I had related issues in a mod I'll be releasing here shortly - a bbcode graphical guitar tab system. I wanted to be able to allow users to show some musical special chars (like, say the flat symbol, or musical rests), but it can't be done as its is a special character, and isn't in the standard html character spec (this time within the gd imagetext library). A possible work around in using ttf fonts...

Anyway, thats what I suspect
