Due to the usual ugly all Unicode names that players use.
They end up looking a right mess in the stats.
For e.g This player
I don't like the idea. What would you have me to do - Remove the rest of the unicode characters? Because changing them to a-zA-Z is impossible. In overall this would make things too tricky, imho. Explain to me better what would you have me do and I'll consider it, OK?

Exactly. I don't like them either, but there's nothing we can do about it.

oops just noticed that the Name was set to utf-8_general_ci.
Is that correct?

Also does the $dbtimemod = not accept -1 as a valid number?
As the times shown on my stats page are 1 hour ahead of "real time".
I have no idea what is off (time wise), be it Game server, Database, or Website.
I have a feeling that your webserver is configured differently than mine, since my website shows the unicode correctly. I'll probably need to add the encoding to the web pages... not sure if it's there already?

You should be able to set negative values to the $dbtimemod. It effects the Last Online time hour value. And before you ask, NO, it does not sum these values so that time can be negative (if a players last online time is Jan 21, 2010 01am.)
