macdonald that was the players name. As for swear words its a good idea. im 32 so it doesnt bother me but there are a lot of kids that play this game and i wouldnt like to see them recieve bad in game messages. Thing that struck me was that id never heard of this guy before, but i spose some people have to make there amusement in different ways.

How chucklesome you are blessed with such lovely PM's...

Forum should introduce a new targeted spam bomb inbox gate weapon for the pleasure of those who receive such insults...

I found it quite odd that Rid**** had declared peace to me. I'm sure his name was something else :-D :wink:

In agreement with Amon Ra.

There should definitely be some guidelines for player names. Something to the affect of, if it is not allowed in the forum it should not be allowed anywhere else either. Just my opinion though

Could we also have the ability to split the in-game messages into paragraphs??

It is possible to type them that way but when they get to the recipient they are just a big chunk of text.

I think that has something to do with the way either PHP or MySQL treats whitespace. As the message gets passed back and forth between these 2 formats, it adds escape characters and screws up the whitespace. It should be fixable.

I'm willing to bet it's neither; it will be the fact that HTML ignores whitespace. No matter what type of whitespace or how much of it there is, HTML treats it all as a single space. What needs to be done is for the PHP code (when a user is viewing a message) to check messages for \n and replace them with <br> which will render as a line break in HTML.
