Greetings.
Today I tried to make a new privat conversation with someone, who has accent-bearing letters (eg. é).
I couldn't send a message, because the forum always says, that it cannot find the user with this name.
I have tried writing the name manually correct (double checked), copy his name from the URL and replacing "-" with " " and copied the name from his forum profile (thought it may help due to character sets or something similar).
Even if you type the name without accents (what is the only way to get the member correction [the drop down menu with users who's name are similar] to show him) and select him from the list, it get's rejected upon sending.

Did I do something wrong? Cannot imagine, that this happend to no one before.

Have a great day!
Raubwurst

Did it work to go to his profile and hit "send a message"?

PopUp Window:
