User Name Syntax

Quick question: I noticed in the User Editor that it is suggested that user names have no embedded spaces. Yet no such instruction is given when new users created their login identities. How critical is it that no spaces are used? I have seen no negative consequences (yet). Am I in for a surprise? I'd prefer to be able to allow such spaces between first and last name in the user name field. Thanks for some guidance.

I'm not aware of any problems with user names that contain spaces either. There's no technical reason for that warning, AFAICS, since Geeklog operates on user ids internally anyway. bye, Dirk
