OldBerkshireBoy Posted April 24, 2019 Share Posted April 24, 2019 Hi, Is there such a list anywhere? I`m looking to change mine and when I type in the new username I get a message "That value is not allowed" which I`m thinking indicates the name is already in use but I am only guessing.

grendel Posted April 24, 2019 Share Posted April 24, 2019 I dont think the software likes spaces, or certain punctuation items either, if you put the username you wish to use in the search it should find any other instances, otherwise pm me the username you wish to change to and I will see if I can find why it wont allow it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oldgregg Posted April 24, 2019 Share Posted April 24, 2019 Usernames can only contain letters or numbers, those are the main rules. Spaces and any special characters cause problems hence they're not allowed. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OldBerkshireBoy Posted April 24, 2019 Author Share Posted April 24, 2019 Thanks Sounding like it didn't like the space bar. Will try later Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ray Posted April 24, 2019 Share Posted April 24, 2019 Often software will allow an underline which you can use to make a space as in River_Ant etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd suggest using camel case ie 'PumpMedic' 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
