#1116: wpmu-functions.php - Create a new user with invalid characters

     Type:  defect          |      Status:  new                        
 Priority:  normal          |   Milestone:  2.8.2                      
Component:  Administration  |     Version:  2.8                        
 Severity:  normal          |    Keywords:  username, invalid character
----------------------------+-----------------------------------------------
 When creating a new user from the main admin -> users -> add new user, you
 can use a period (.) or hyphen (-) in the user name. However, when adding
 from the blog itself under Users -> Add New, trying to use either of those
 characters results in an error message.

 Line 912 of wpmu-fuctions.php:


 {{{
 preg_match( "/[a-z0-9]+/", $user_name, $maybe );
 }}}

 to

 {{{
 preg_match( "/[a-z0-9.-]+/", $user_name, $maybe );
 }}}


 Not sure if that's 100% correct, but it worked in my environment (not a
 regex-pert)
