..and now can't revert back to Luke. (With a full stop at the end.) Only accepts numbers and letters. frown

Any way changing it back, pretty please?

They are all getting drunk at the annual post Christmas, pre Easter knees up goodbye old friend hello new employee drinkies. beer (possibly)

One will be along shortly to fix your fk up I'm quite sure. Just be patent Alex. and all will be normal.
After all no-one can nick your name anyway as they've obviously changed the code to stop people using non alpha numeric usernames. I think it messes up the backend data somehow. (possibly)

Be patient.

I don't think it can be changed back; unless Will undoes 3 weeks of coding to do so smile

Really? Would have thought someone could just go

UPDATE members SET username='Luke.' WHERE userid=25057;

...Or equivalent.

There is no way for the mods to do it, but I (as Pigeon pointed out) can do it via the database. You are now back to being 'Luke.' but change it again and you'll be stuck with it!

Yeah, I like to think of that little full point as the icing on the cake.
