    Forum Registration via Ubuntu One ignores special chars

    Hello,

    I tried to register to this forum and was forwarded to the ubuntu one service where I created a new account. My surname contains the german Umlaut "ü" which I could use at ubuntu one:
    ununtu-one-account.PNG

    But during the transfer of the account from ubuntu one to this forum the Umlaut disappears

    As you can see, my user name in this forum is Mike_Kster, but it should be Mike_Küster. Seems a problem with the encoding between the two systems?

    Ciao,
    Mike

    Moved to the Resolution Center sub-forum.

    That's odd. We have other users with the umlaut in their usernames, namely one of the former members of the forum staff.

    Anyway, I've corrected your username for what you wanted.

    Don't worry. We think we know why the ü character disappeared, and we're looking into it. Thanks for reporting the problem.
