There is no user by the name "Neo o". Check your spelling, or use the form below to create a new user account.

It's not picking up the underscore in my name and isn't letting me log in :(

Yes, unfortunately usernames are not yet directly portable between the forums and the wiki.

Members with underscores and special characters are going to encounter some issues.

I am happy to change your name for you (a space instead of the underscore would work). Otherwise you'll have to wait - or hope I find time to fix it tomorrow before I go overseas.

Cheers Laz, could you change it to a space please? :)

At the moment, Lazarus is attempting to fix these errors, but if you want to be able to login to the Biki now, you'd have to change your username

I don't think he can fix them.

There are several constants with wikipedia articles, such as:

1. First letters of article names are ALWAYS capitalised, ie Ipod (not ipod), EBay (not eBay),
2. Underscores in the links represent spaces,

etc.

Same with pH, which becomes PH, which is technically incorrect.

I have the same problem, I think because of my username - could I get the underscore removed (but without a space)?
