Names with html?

If you add html code (I.e. color) into your username, does the html work?

-Alex

give it a shot.

I will not be helping your account in any way if it gets screwed up

Neither will I be helping any account in any way once I do changes that disallow these things and you end up with a screwed up username

I don't actually want to use this, I'm just curious, and I dont want to waste a Name change finding out lol

And it would be my fault if it stuffed up so I wouldn't demand any input from you Admin

-Alex

Just don't block usage of the underscore... lol

atm, I think there's a 50% chance of it working.
It seemed to work partially with alliance names, however things did screw up every now and then when trying different inputs.

Underscore wont be affected, as that is one of the safer characters, even more safe than the spacebar

I think Dune is about to try it so let's find out...

EDIT: Dune is now orange and bold, AWESOME!

it forces an underscore instead of a space doesn't it?

love the new Avy Alex, its awsome.

I would do it to myself (Anything to stand out) but when html gets removed Dune will probably change to:

Code:

<font color="orange><b>Dune</b></font>

lol

Thanks I made it myself (In MS Paint and a GIF compiler, it was quite annoying...)

Oops ... Didn't see your post there

PS: My name is bold orange ... the color of SPICE!

No, Alex, it will definitely FUCK UP my nickname as some of the characters won't be allowed. Well, I don't have many name changes left so I'm gonna ride it out and be an example on how NOT TO do things.

might better change it back soon LOL

@ Alex, why are the stairs colored after the retreat?

Dune (The book) is awesome

Also I'll give you one of my name changes b/c you did that, oh wait you can't give name changes, oh wait I have none left

Edit: Thats the blue/green zombie falling over

-Alex

PS: Martin, I think you should leave html in If it's not a security risk. Adds to the fun factor and a LOT of personality to user names and alliance names.

It is.

oh i see now, one of the zombies fell on the stairs and got trampled.

It is.

Edited.

Also, maybe just leave in colors/bold/italics.

Besides, you don't show up in search with your display username

I think it creates more of a problem than anything else.

This could be done with some sort of programming behind it, without being a risk for the site and without creating problems, as a reward for players?

Searching for:

Code:

<fo

works b/c his name is actually:

Code:

<font color="orange"><b>Dune</b></font>

-Alex

You can find him if you search with

Code:

<

the reward was meant to be if you buy VIP SS you get this neat shit

but as you guys noticed, it causes minor issues with searching for names

FYI in case you guys take longer to figure this out, you can also search for "dune" that "contains" instead of "starts with"

I have VIP ... neat!

I hope it doesn't allow operands to be used in the input fields.

1)And probably some major issues we havn't found yet lol

2)Also yeah you could do that, but where's the fun..?

Knew that admin but since the default is "starts with" and most people don't bother passed default it does create an itsi bitsi problem Negligible anyway.

you can set contains as default.
