The chat kicks ass. Best Java chat I ever used. We need to set up some discussion about tech topics at a certain time. What is the first thing you guys want to talk about? Turbos, fuel systems, chips, engine building? let get this going

Dammit, it just won't work for me, since it automatically looks at your name here and tries to use it and mine starts with a number then I just get disconnected after it tells me "erroneous name" or something. It doesn't give me a chance to change it.

There is a nickname field in the bottom right hand corner... try changing it there and seeing if that makes a difference, and then manually type this into the command line area:

/server buick.fiendish.net

See if that helps.

Well, I just tested that method and that didnt work..

So, a small change to the code with the following line:


$nonalnum = preg_replace("/^(\d.*)/","_\$1", $bbuserinfo[username]);


What this does, is basicly if your name begins with a digit, it will add an underscore to the front of it.

If your name does not begin with a digit, it should leave it unmolested.
