First, update to the very latest trunk. There is a chance that you might have a user meta item for some users called 'display_name'. This will be stomping on the real setting in the user table. Use this SQL query to clear out the bad data.</p> <pre><code>DELETE FROM bb_usermeta WHERE meta_key = &#39;display_name&#39;;</code></pre> <p>Once you've updated to the latest trunk and done that, you should be able to use any UTF-8 character in display names. </p> http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/accents-in-username#post-19448 Thu, 25 Sep 2008 13:47:50 +0000 meitershaker 19448@http://bbpress.org/forums/ <p>@ sam<br /> "In any case, the solution in the future is to change your display name after registration.

I'm probably overstating the threat as the same problem exists on all data input and we filter it out the problem there. I was also just reviewing WordPress injection attacks of days gone by, so it was on my mind.</p> <p>In any case, the solution in the future is to change your display name after registration.
