I'm adding these new matchtypes for private league games played in neutral arenas (for the respective levels of the competition) without the usual one week notice (I think you'll all agree that's ok):
pl.quarterfinalneutral
pl.semifinalneutral
pl.finalneutral

Just a question:
For the bug with the login containing special character, you said to use a function that strips accent.
It's ok, and works properly.
But what about login containing other character like "°" ?

I know a user who was unable to connect, his login was pierrick°42. Someone of your staff had to change his login to pierrick42.

I can't anticipate every possible combination. Special chars in logins are never a good idea.

So why is it allowed in the creating account process ? :P

Just an idea:
If you strip characters accents (ñ => n, à => a, è => e, etc...),
why don't you transform special characters (which are not a letter) into a blank ?
example: pierrick°42 => pierrick 42

Because it would be much more complicated to do (especially since I had that stripping function coded already). I tried to help you guys, but don't push it.

It was just a suggestion, not an offense.
I have no idea how BB is coded so...

Thank you so much for all the job you've done :)
It's 1 000 000 times better now than it was earlier.

No problem, I'm glad we understand each other. I'll think about what you said and maybe one day, I even do it the way you suggested.

Accent stripping for login is currently disabled since we had some issues with it. I'll have to think of a better way to do this and until I do, users with accents won't be able to login. Sorry!

I know it's not the place for, but may i do a suggestion ?

I dont know your structure database but why dont you add a "unique BBAPI ID" (like a social security number) to each user ?
This way you could allow users to connect to BBAPI with their login + access key OR with "unique BBAPI ID" + access key.

The "unique BBAPI ID" would be visible in your profil where you have to create/change your access key.
This way, no more troubles with non-latin characters !

What do you think ?
