I have had some problems with people trying to login to my site. they get an error that says invalid email addy. i thinnk some people have used brackets or periods in their email. like this " }" can anyone tell me how to fix it so that i can get my site to recognize these characters.

Attach your modules/Your_Account/index.php I will see if there is anything blocking the use of those characters.

Here ya go. if you find something. will you explain it to me please. i would like to understand this code

THis is a problem only when they log in? It allowed them to register with these characters in the email?

I think for some reason some people are getting logged in ok, others have trouble. I am getting emails that say the people are getting new user account errors. Some people have gotten the confirmation email, but when they click on the link, they get that error. It's hard to say whats happening because there have only been 15 registers so far. the number is climbing. so i am hopeing to get more info as more people register.

i just tryed to register with an email that starts with {ASP}. that is the clan tag for the gameing server i am apart of. when i try to register with that, it says invalid email addy.

Replace this function in your Your_Account/index.php (top one):

function userCheck($username, $user_email) {
$username = filter($username, "nohtml", 1);
$user_email = filter($user_email, "nohtml", 1);
global $stop, $user_prefix, $db;
if ( (!$user_email) || (empty($user_email)) ) $stop = "<center>"._ERRORINVEMAIL."</center> ";
if (strrpos($user_email,' ') > 0) $stop = "<center>"._ERROREMAILSPACES."</center>";
if ( (!$username) || ($username=="") ) $stop = "<center>"._ERRORINVNICK."</center> ";
if (strlen($username) > 25) $stop = "<center>"._NICK2LONG."</center>";
if (eregi("^((root)|(adm)|(linux)|(webmaster)|(admin)|(god)|(administrator)|(administrador)|(nobody)|(anonymous)|(anonimo)|(anónimo)|(operator)|(JackFromWales4u2))$",$username)) $stop = "<center>"._NAMERESERVED."</center>";
if (strrpos($username,' ') > 0) $stop = "<center>"._NICKNOSPACES."</center>";
if ($db->sql_numrows($db->sql_query("SELECT username FROM ".$user_prefix."_users WHERE username='$username'")) > 0) $stop = "<center>"._NICKTAKEN."</center> ";
if ($db->sql_numrows($db->sql_query("SELECT username FROM ".$user_prefix."_users_temp WHERE username='$username'")) > 0) $stop = "<center>"._NICKTAKEN."</center> ";
if ($db->sql_numrows($db->sql_query("SELECT user_email FROM ".$user_prefix."_users WHERE user_email='$user_email'")) > 0) $stop = "<center>"._EMAILREGISTERED."</center> ";
if ($db->sql_numrows($db->sql_query("SELECT user_email FROM ".$user_prefix."_users_temp WHERE user_email='$user_email'")) > 0) $stop = "<center>"._EMAILREGISTERED."</center> ";
return $stop;
}

well i do believe that worked. my user name was accepted, however, the email won't send to activate my account. it sais that the email failed. but i know it's a valid email. i think because i am using the same characters in my email {ASP}CyberShot@comcast.net that is the email i am trying to get registered. but i get the error email that it was returned. is there anything i can do about that.
thanks for that other fix.

So it let you through the whole process of signing up but just didn't send you an activation email?

Does it send activation emails for other users using a normal email addy?

the only other emails i have been getting is for people using a period in their email...like [ Register or login to view links on this board. ] it picks up the period and refuses it. the problem is that this is a gameing website so alot of people with clan tags will register. so i was hopeing to clear up any problems with it. this time it did let me register with the tags, but it sent an error mail to me. since i am the admin..saying invalid email unable to deliver.
