When I use the "&" character in my forum names I get validation warnings. Is there some way to parse this instead of having to use "and" all the time?

Thanks

for some reason forum names allow html, so try &
thank you but that didn't work.

Use AND then. It actually works just fine.

I also had issues with the ampersand so I just use the AND.
I don't know if that will parse properly in a forum name but that's how you need to type a & to get W3 to validate it if it's on a normal page or something.
OT: HTML is not parsed in 1.4.5 when loaded from database via template (eg {fid3}) ???
Worked in 1.4.4.
