Problem: Adding a user with a "." in the username. ie. john.doe jane.doe

I've searched around thinking I missed a setting or something because all my usernames in the past have had a period in them, corperate site I control all the users.

It seems the validation of the propertyeditorcontrol usereditor control has changed on users.ascx. No longer excepts non alpha numeric characters.

I've looked around in the forums, bug tracker, and documentation to no avail on a setting. I'm assuming this is something new.

I was able to go in and manually modify the tables so my problem is fixed, however it means that I will end up having to write my own user creation module or manually enter any new users as the firstname.lastname is kind of a corp standard for usernames.

edit: I just tried putting a email address in as username, some sites i goto use that. won't work 5.0
