Yes, fixed now and also in other areas where this would casue problems. For those interested, the forum uses utf8_bin encoding and the rest of the site uses latin1_swedish_ci, so when you get characters outside of the western european set, stuff breaks. I've fiddled that out now so it should work as only the forum username field is the issue (for now) unless folks start, for example, writing my cats notes in Chinese.
