Hi everyone! I'm new to this site, but not "new" when videogames are concerned. In a matter of fact I started playing games with NES and C-64 in the mid-80's. Nowadays I'm collecting Sega Mega Drive games... the ones that I couldn't afford when I was a kid. Yeah, it's good to be over 30  ;D

Anyway, I have a weird problem. My login name is meg@driver (as you can see, of course!). Now, when I click tools I get to see my collection properly, as "meg@driver's Collection". If I then choose to click -- for example -- My Collection, the name appears as "megdriver's Collection" (see the missing @) and of course it doesn't show any games etc.

This is weird, 'cos @ shouldn't be that special of a character, right? I wonder if anyone knows what I could do, OR is there anything that I can do to get it fixed?

It appears to be a quirk of perl. We're trying to find a solution that does not require changing your username, but if we can't find a solution that allows the @ to be an acceptable character it may have to change. We'll let you know, but somehow, your collection will fully work.

We think life should be better for you. Try now.

Yup, I made some changes that should allow the @ symbol in your name to work.  Let us know if you still have any problems.

WOW!

You guys are f a s t  :o  I just tried the different options on my collection, and everything works perfectly.  A big thank you and happy holidays to both of you!

That's what we're here for :)  Happy holidays to yourself as well!

No problem, enjoy the holiday as well!
