Luca D.

Up

I did it, but it is not changed.
The username in PhpBB for example is: [ex]hello ; [ex]hello1 and in WP is: exhello and exhello1
The same happens to uppercase, changed in lowercase, for example: [ex]Luca in exluca

This is the part of code that I modifyed:

function wpb_get_username($count = 0)
{
	global $user;

	$new_username = htmlspacialchars($user->data['username']);

	if($count > 0)
	{
		$new_username .= (string)$count;
	}

	if(username_exists($new_username))
	{
		$count++;
		$new_username = wpb_get_username($count);
	}

	return $new_username;
}

Maybe I must modify formatting.php, the sanitize_user function? Which are the risks if I’m going to insert a simply htmlspecialchars?
