 Invalid Account Name.

im sure it has to do with the periods in your screen name

Usernames don't allow "." characters, so it's being ignored when put through security filters.

If you email [email protected] they can change yer username and replace the "." characters with "-" or "_" for now. Support for other characters may be added in the future, but it's not really a high priority.
