Upgrade from 1.0.15 to what? It should work, since it isn't part of joomla, it's a CB hack...

I didn't notice any mention of which version of IE anyone is using. Maybe it's not working with 6, and so not working for some visitors that you don't know about.

Thanks for this contribution. I found this topic while searching for a solution to spaces in usernames, so I really appreciate your efforts. I'm using IE7 and the latest FF, so will have to find someone using an older IE so I can test it. I'm guessing as much as 10% of my sites visitors may still be using IE6, and since I'm implementing the userpages hack ( www.joomlapolis.com/component/option,com_joomlaboard/Itemid,38/func,view/catid,19/id,15382/ ) this may be a real issue.

Anyway, I'm going to install it and give it a shot now. Wish me luck! B)

Well I just installed this on my website and in FF3 everything works ok. In IE7 it replaces the "forbidden" username with the word "null" (without the quotes) instead of just wiping it out. The same thing on IE6 and IE8 beta 1. How can I get rid of that?

PS. I'm on Win XP.

If I could get IE7 to even complete the install process on my peeeceee I'd be able to look at it. But I can't get it to even work.

Hehe, okey, but maybe you can install IETester and make it work?

It looks like CB RC 1.2 may make my little javascript hack obsolete. I'm checking it out now.
