Username not working when adding to PT

To be specific, the user +__+. When I enter his name into the box for adding users to the private topic and click "Add User", it says "invalid username", not adding it to the PT. A fix for this would be appreciated.

Edit: apparently the user tag doesn't work either - http://forum.mafiascum.net/memberlist.p ... le&u=28520

Please someone find a fix for this.

In the meantime, it's the best town-tell ever.

Bumping this to let it be known:
It's not just +__+ who has the issue.

Any user with a + in their username cannot be added. (I had trouble adding the account Cane + Able to a hydra PT.)

This seems to be a rather serious problem, because, uh, yeah. In ANY game that uses private chat, you have a compromised slot because you know the account with the + cannot be mafia or at the very least, can't communicate with them.

Wtf are we adding accounts by username? The username literally shouldn't matter
at all
.
I'll look into this.

I put in a fix for this which has been merged, but not sure if it has been deployed.

I don't think it's been deployed yet.

Pinging @Kison (Is an @ the right way to mention someone on the forums?)

hey, not sure if someone is doing something, but usernames with spaces in them appear not to be adding.

My change broke this while fixing the original case -- I have a patch that fixes both.

Sorry for the inconvenience!
