  • Customization of the username check function.

Quirks
  • The WYSIWYG editor gives the users the ability to add a "target" attribute on their links, the target attribute is deprecated, so if the user uses that feature, the HTML on that user's profile will not be valid.
  • The WYSIWYG editor in the edit profile area also create some HTML validation erros, the validator doesn't like having HTML tags in textareas. Having a WYSIWYG editor puts validation at the mercy of users in some areas. It is mostly just paragraph tags. The best was done to keep the code as valid as possible.
  • Again the WYSIWYG editor gives an error in terms of the accessibility validation which wants a frame name on the WYSIWYG, a user rich interface sometimes results in minor validation errors, but the tradeoff is worth it.
