Glitch in space

The new ft version does not accept any named accounts with a "space" in the front. It overrides it and in fact removes the space. For the time being until a fix is programed these accounts are not accessible with the newest version of Ft. There was only a limited amount of time in FT when you can even make these "space" accounts it is not possible anymore. My husband was the one to discover the "space" accounts 6 years ago and appropriately I am the one to discover a bug in the "space" accounts. I've decided to name the bug "the glitch in space" ^_~

I know there was an issue with the iOS beta. Compbatant had to change the code to remove (or ignore) the leading space. Not sure if he applied that changed to other platform versions, though.

If you do end up renaming do not forget to have them remove everything out of the bank and the tavern possibly even houses. El majo inform me that these are named sensitive when I was GM and everything will be empty if renamed! :shock:

front, middle or end?

let's pretent | is a space

|name <--- seems to be an issue

name|name <<-- I have a few

namename| <--- I have 1

Are the last two problems? Doesn't seem to be from what I read so just checking.
