I found out a little problem when you're trying to create your new account.
Let's say you want your nickname to be "Big Phil." Well, these boards don't let you create a login name with spaces or characters. So here's what you do:
Make your login BigPhil, one word. Then after you get your password in the e-mail, sign in and go into your profile. Change your password to whatever you want it to be. Then, you are allowed to CHANGE THE APPEARANCE OF YOUR NICK right there. What that means is, your login name isn't necessarily what you have to use on these forums; it's just what the system uses to identify you and log you in.
For example, my login is BigPhil, but I can change the appearance of my nickname in my profile to say "Big Phil is the Man" with all those spaces. As far as I can tell, there are no limits on what you have your nick appear as on these forums.
I hope this helps out those who are trying to register and can't figure out why you can't have a space in your name.
