I cannot send PM's to d/\t/\m/\gg0+ , it says "cannot find recipient" and then displays his name as d/t/m/gg0+  to this tells me it has something to do with the slashes in his name.  If i add the slashes back in the issue happens anyways.

Oh, and I don't like to name names, but he is the only one i'm having a problem sending to. d/\t/\: if you want i'll remove your name from my post.

This is interesting, and probably a side effect of the sanitizer escaping his "unescapes". That format is used in SQL to escape slashes.

Were you able to send that user messages before the update?

No. I tried once and it failed. But I kinda forgot about it at that point

Edit: d/\t/\: that seemed to work

Funny, I just change the recipient to "datamaggot" and send.

Seems to work for me.

Datamaggot, are you actually getting my PM's?

Yeah, if you refer to the last couple posts, that's the solution we worked out.
