This question may be related to a resolved thread.

Is there any p[ossible way to allow usernames or emails to contain apostrophe’s?
The thread above says “

|  ”  ’  !

are reserved characters. “

But I have some emails/usernames ie: O’Leary.  This is in their functioning email and username.  IS there any way I can allow the use of apostrophe’s in emails and usernames?

/** ----------------------------------
        /**  Is username formatting correct?
        /** ----------------------------------*/
        
        // Reserved characters:  |  "  '  !
    
        if (preg_match("/[\||\'|\"|\!]/", $this->username))
        {
            $this->errors[] = $LANG->line('invalid_characters_in_username');
        }

So in brief -
|  ”  ’  !

are reserved characters.

I know you’ve seen this thread, which gives a little more detail. I am afraid using apostrophes in email addresses is not an out of the box option right now, as it were (and probably not a terribly good idea, but that’s another story).

Yes that other thread solved my problem.

Glad to hear it. Please don’t hesitate to post again as needed.
