So, if you'd all like to continue that route please use [link=post]41818[/link] this nicely spawned thread. I'd hoped for some actual constructive advice like most others receive. http://www.mudbytes.net/index.php?a=topic&t=2538&p=41820#p41820 Tue, 9 Feb 2010 12:58:30 PST Coding and Design nobody@example.com (Kline) http://www.mudbytes.net/index.php?a=topic&t=2539&p=41819#p41819 I think this happens with URLs too. http://www.google.com... http://www.mudbytes.net/index.php?a=topic&t=2539&p=41819#p41819 Tue, 9 Feb 2010 12:52:11 PST Bug reports, feature requests nobody@example.com (Zeno) http://www.mudbytes.net/index.php?a=topic&t=2539&p=41818#p41818 As you can see here: [link=post]41815[/link]the email address address nobody@nowhere.com followed by a period is collapsed into one address, like so: nobody@nowhere.com. It looks like the regex should be checking that something actually comes after a trailing period. (Speaking of email validation... :wink:) Interestingly enough, if you put it in quotes, it doesn't get recognized at all: "nobody@nowhere.com." http://www.mudbytes.net/index.php?a=topic&t=2539&p=41818#p41818 Tue, 9 Feb 2010 12:51:16 PST Bug reports, feature requests nobody@example.com (David Haley) http://www.mudbytes.net/index.php?a=topic&t=2538&p=41817#p41817 [quote]Just trying to save people from fat-fingering un-knowingly when they meant to enter something proper.[/quote] Well, I suppose it's better than nothing, but you won't be able to detect my typo of davod@whatever.com, either.

Grats! edit: Just tried it out, looking good! I agree about the client spec -- while I personally wouldn't delve into a php mud (sorry ;) ), I'd be very interested in adding client support to the codebase I'm working on. http://www.mudbytes.net/index.php?a=topic&t=2537&p=41816#p41816 Tue, 9 Feb 2010 12:33:52 PST Custom nobody@example.com (Idealiad) http://www.mudbytes.net/index.php?a=topic&t=2538&p=41815#p41815 [quote=KaVir]Whenever a mud demands an email address, I always put "none". If that doesn't work, I try "none@none", then "none@none.none"[/quote] I always used to do nobody@nowhere.com. On our account creation you can just hit enter at the email prompt and it records your email address as "none" for you. http://www.mudbytes.net/index.php?a=topic&t=2538&p=41815#p41815 Tue, 9 Feb 2010 12:14:27 PST Coding and Design nobody@example.com (Orrin) http://www.mudbytes.net/index.php?a=topic&t=2530&p=41814#p41814 Yup, I think that Zeno's first act as moderator should be to ban himself and Orrin for a year.

That doesn't make sense to me.[/quote] It makes perfect sense. Do you really want to give people new to mudding the impression that the way to get ahead is to constantly argue with the owners and be a poor sport if you don't get your way? http://www.mudbytes.net/index.php?a=topic&t=2530&p=41813#p41813 Tue, 9 Feb 2010 11:46:41 PST Bug reports, feature requests nobody@example.com (Sandi) http://www.mudbytes.net/index.php?a=topic&t=2530&p=41812#p41812 Davion, you help to run a Web site and you want that site to succeed in A) growth of its userbase and in B) a spread of its positive reputation. This is understandable and laudable. You should also, however, want it to C) function in its intended purpose as well as it possibly can and it appears that you're losing sight of that.
