    The aforementioned wiki is a new place filled with exact documentation on how to create custom detection databases, helpful tools, and more.

    The wiki is available to registered users only currently. If you are registered here at the forum, you can use the same login information for the wiki. </snip>
    Argh, wiki does not recognize me as a registered user with my SSD login info ..

    ja-right possibly the '&' character? Mmm, if the sub still doesn't recognize, I may need to register a more compatible username, sigh let this be a lesson in uniquity .. kids, don't do as I do

    Yes, an amp is surely a somewhat difficult character; since user names in Mediawiki have the same restrictions as page titles have, and can be passed as parameters to scripts, an & could be imagined to cause problems.

    To be honest though, the integration is quite conservative yet and anything but a to z and 0 to 9 is currently not possible.

    I just tried to access a page with your username, and found that the amp was correctly interpreted, just the underscore was converted to a space. I took me an eternity, but I also finally found the Wikipedia (best reference for Mediawiki ) page on technical restrictions: the amp shouldn't be a problem any more!
    I'll have to read the code of the integration plugin again though to see how I can safely improve this, especially the space vs. underscore thing (since it's a Wiki-display-only thing though, the underscore might be less problematic than a space).

    Default danke

    Trying out the new OpenSBI editions - FileAlyzer and RunAlyzer seem fine (whoa, never bothered much with RunAlyzer before .. that is one pretty darned comprehensive app! with a lot of learning to familiarize with . Not sure why but the new RegAlyzer 16011 did not even load, (similar errmssg as with an install of RegAlyzer 15810) .. so back to 1568 there.

    /see/ further in http://forums.spybot.info/showpost.p...31&postcount=7

    btw, gratz on the RC1 - looking forward :D %26
