Using . in username stops level from displaying correctly

[nathardwick]

I've set up my site display the user's member level on their profile page - but if that member has used a . (period) in their username - or an email address - the user level displayed defaults to the free one... they have the right access privileges when logged in but the level displays wrongly on their profile page... anyone know a fix to this...? Is it something obvious...? Strange one, I know...

Found the solution - it's to do with BP's own settings - if you add:

define( 'BP_ENABLE_USERNAME_COMPATIBILITY_MODE', true );

to your wp-config file then it gets fixed - it allows BP users to use LDAP usernames (inc email addresses and names with . in them)

Just thought I'd post in case anyone else has had a problem with this.
