User can't log in. Spaces in User name?

   Recently installed bbPress. It's integrated with an existing WP installation.

   One of my main users has a user name with spaces:
   'John A Doe'

   When he tries to log into bbPress, it tells him the user name does not exist. Oddly, in the box where he types in his user name, it changes the text he typed in to:
   'JohnADoe' removing all spaces. If he puts the spaces back in, and his password, it simply tells him he doesn't exist and removes the spaces again.

   I went into WP to try changing his user name, but that field says 'do not edit' in the admin.

   He is an admin in WP and a keymaster in bbPress as well.

   Any ideas?

   You need the plugin to allow spaces and other characters in usernames.

   Not in the plugin browser though, let me find it...

   I think 0.9 fixes this issue
