@Gautam:

There is no absolute solution for the space problem. Already, almost all sites don’t accept it (space in username), so almost all the people on net prefer taking usernames without spaces. Even if I put the code to match the spaces, then it might overload the server with so many requests.

Update: I don’t prefer exploding the text with @ and space, that would have a huge long process…

There is no necessity for spaces.

+1. Most people don’t do it anyway. They think,”username” and then automatically assume that there should be no spaces. As small as my forum is, there are no members that have spaces in their usernames (except me, however I changed it to use my display name).

Now, is the process for finding spaces really that long, or long enough to make the server load heavy?
