I was setting up my new private forum for private use, and during the installation script it asked me for my admin account. I typed in "Fábio Maia" (my name). All working and stuff, but when the installation was complete and I acessed my forum my nickname was "F" ONLY. I tried to login with "Fábio Maia" and the respective password but it didn't work, now that I remember I could have tried to login with "F" and its password. Didn't really remember, so..
But then "eh, screw it. I'll just delete everything and install it again". So yeah I didn't make any specific tests. I could have tried to edit my admin account and tried to rename it to "Fábio Maia" again (but as I didn't remember to login as F, I couldn't login to the ACP as well).
I'm on a free-host running Windows and VistaPanel as the control panel, as I'm not going to spend money on a private forum just for a few couple of users. I didn't try this anymore, I have already a new board setup with no special chars. or spaces between words on my nickname. AND, in my new board I created a new user (not an admin) named "Fábio Maia" just to see if it was a global problem. It's not, seems like it just doesn't accept special chars. or spaces between words in the admin account during installation.
Any thoughts on this? :|
EDIT: Also, my board name was 8ºD and it showed up as 8D, not 8ºD. So I guess it's not just nicknames..
And still regarding the board name, I now also edited my forum name from 8D (which I set in the new installation, so the fact it's 8D doesn't mean it was a problem. I wrote 8D because I knew it wouldn't work) to 8ºD and it did make effect. I could edit the board name and got it working.
