umlauts work fine in the body of a topic:
why did they not work in my member name?
… Ideas? |

The Editor has a clear anti-umlaut bias, I suggest we start a separate thread to discuss. |

Umlauts are used by foreigners, and thus not to be trusted. |

Umlauts are not allowed in membernames. ==== Errr..Why not?? |
 Rrobbyrobot | 25 Jun 2012 12:23 p.m. PST |
What if the member is German, or Austrian? |

Someone who cares, clearly not me, should set up an Umlaut Anti-defamation League. |

I love the idea of an "unnecessary umlaut company". |

Umlauts are not allowed in membernames.==== Errr..Why not?? Simpler to code that way. Essentially, the server sees characters in two categories: regular and special. "Regular" characters are allowed. Characters with umlauts are in the "special" category, and some of those can be used by hackers, so the easiest course is to disallow all special characters. Besides that, it might be confusing to have one member named Schon and another named Schön… |

How many eggs do you use in a umlaut? |

I would like an umlaut with bacon for breakfast tomorrow. |
