Hi,

I registered today and hit this bug:

I submitted the following username:
"*LordHelmchen*" (without the "&quot

But it turns out, the system registered the name as:
"'LordHelmchen'"

PS: I registered via the german translated site, don't know if this is important(it should not be).

I used Firefox 34 on Windows 7 x64
Website Encoding is Unicode.

If you need any additional information, please ask.
I will provide anything you need.

Thanks in advance

:edit:

It also turns out I am not able to connect with this account via the windows boinc client, might this be related?

I just get the error:
"User not found or password wrong."

I triple checked everything, I used the same credentials as for the website.

Any chance of getting a reply on this topic?

Is this the wrong sub forum? If so please move the thread or give me a heads up
where to put this question.

Thanks in advance

Excuse me,

but what do you mean with "fixed"?

Do you mean that during registration this bug does not occur anymore?

This still does not allow me to connect via boinc client to my BAM account (username wrong or password to long error).

Could you please assist me in fixing this?

I know I entered the right credentials because they are copy and pasted from a password database.

they work for this website login, but not in the BOINC client software.

any help would really be appreciated.

I think I can help debugging this, as I work as a sysadmin myself.

Thanks

You can change your name on the main account page. Store it with the '*' and your username is correct.
