Excuse me for being so anal but I hate having to use underscores in a multi-worded username when registering here. Is it possible to have spaces in your username without them?

We would also prefer spaces, rather than underscores, in multi-word usernames.

Unfortunately, the underscores are the result of how usernames are stored in our database. Any username consisting of two or more words will contain them.

It's a restriction with the database. Much like email addresses. The newer forums (vBulletin) support spaces.

It'd be nice to see the 'location' field included under the user's name too.

Currently learning Irish and English. Please bear with me.
