Question about the spell check (in General)

Is there any way to get my username added to the spell check? :-) That's kind of annoying when it tells me my username is spelled incorrectly.

Hari Seldon is in the spell checked, it ignores player names. though your first name is flagged as being wrong...

I think it is because the spell checker checks for single words, and your username consists of 2 words...

Just wondering. :)

On the preview screen, where it shows incorrectly spelled words, you can read the following:

A note about names: CB users are recognized if you uniquely identify them in at least 4 letters. So, 'val' is not recognized as 'Valgasu', but 'valg' is. However, if there is also a user named 'Valgrind', you would have to type more.

Since "Hari" is only 4 letters, maybe that's the problem...

Maelstrom should quote it completely:
Choose HTML mode and simply write <nospellcheck>...your name or whatever here...</nospellcheck>.
