For a while now I've been trying to decide on a title. A moment ago I tried to buy "Demondim-niece" but it turned out hyphens are not allowed. Why is that?
Ur-bane has a hyphen in his username, not in his user title. The error message I got for my title change (to replace Servant of the Land) indicated hyphens were the problem.
I wanted a hyphen aswell. But i managed to live without it. )
But if you're all about the destination, then take a fucking flight.
We're going nowhere slowly, but we're seeing all the sights.
And we're definitely going to hell, but we'll have all the best stories to tell.

Sorry, I realised afterwards about the name/title thing...I caught your thread coming out of a 3-hour meeting, and about to leave...so was rushed.
Having completed the Rites of Unhyphenating, I am now Wayfriend, the Unhyphenated One. I go into the wilderness to write vague comments in the Tank; lucky will be those who encounter me.
That Rank is Invalid, it must only contain characters A-Z, a-z and 1-0. For more specific titles talk to an admin.
I think that probably could be changed in a text file (or if not, source file) somewhere. I think there could be something like the regular expression [A-Za-z1-0]+ to which the hyphen could be added. I think "-" or \- would probably do the work so that the hyphen is not mistaken to mean a range but the specifics depend on the implementation of course.

I'd expect it'd be in a php file in the /includes/ folder, probably a one created specifically for the store mod. But I'm fairly sure there's a valid reason for not using /, -, etc.
As much of a sore wound it is to go without a hyphen, I'm afraid nothing can be done; unless the admins of this site choose to change the setting... I assume that can be done through some process or other, but it probably means a bit of work... I'll pm Vain.
I'm not sure what the underlying problem is for not allowing users to have odd cheacters in their title. I'll check the admin panel, but I think it's part of the structure of the board code, so it's a question for Vain, heh.-jay
