Replace PM recipient comma with semi-colon

Replace PM recipient comma with semi-colon
I noticed older versions of MyBB accepted commas in usernames. It'll be a pain to tell everyone that your username has changed, etc. Why not separate the usernames by semi-colons instead?

I think this is a good idea. I think it will also look better.

And how many people do you know that have commas in their usernames? Maybe only a few members out of like 20,000.

Besides, it's already too late - 1.4.5 removed commas from usernames so the bug wouldn't persist and they've been blocked from use since 1.4.

This user has been denied support. This user has been denied support.
I had 3 out of 30,000 at HF. Not a big deal imho if it's going to prevent bugs.

New MyBB plugin is "My Awards 2.0".

This is pointless, i don't see many people with commas in their usernames.

I knew that. This was just a suggestion, and suggestions don't hurt. Wink

I like ; instead of , since semi-colons are simply used more often to separate data.
