- I can use a function that strips character accents (basically switches ñ to n, etc) and apply that to the loginName, if there are no objections?

Ok for me ! :)
- can't help you with "cup.semi_or_final", since we don't differentiate those in the database

No problem ! It's not the most annoying bug since we still know it's a game cup. :)

For others changes it's perfect !
Thank you a lot.

The announced changes have been applied. Even the stripping of the accents for the login (not the access code). Bbapi.rnc was also updated.
Let me know if something is wrong.

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.
