Hi!
I really need Russian usernames because I'm using Web-chat integrated with vldPersonals and everything fine, many users would like to use Russian names and if vldPersonals works only with English usernames, why many other scripts works correctly with other language usernames in any charset, where is the sense of Unicode in vldPersonals?

You shouldn't allow your members to use non latin characters.
You'll never now if first letter English A or Russian A, second third char English e, or Russian e (ye), last char English X(eks) or Russian X (he). Those names looks the same for human but totally different for system...

Vlad told me that vldPersonals does not officially support non-english usernames and I have edited the code in the username validation function to allow non-english characters because I need to allow users register usernames on national language, despite it I really hope that Vlad or someone will help me to fix this error.

Personally, I think it is up to Vlad to make this edit, not the user, so it becomes a fix for everyone.

Hello!
I've noticed that users able to register with equivalent russian usernames which started with the first letter from the alphabet.

Vlad told me that I need to edit the code in the 'includes/lib/lib.account_register.php' around lines 639 where it checks for duplicate usernames.

But I don't know how to make it, and I will be grateful if someone can help me with it.

Beforehand many thanks!
