[Resolved] Checker for GC869VY needs a little editing

One minor thing came up after the challenge went live: When a user with an Umlaut (e.g. Fuchsläufer) uses the checker, there is an error. Could you edit the checker so that all letters like å, ø, ţ and whatnot are excluded?

Thanks in advance!

Try sending an email to the scriptwriter PattuX , this might be quicker to get this corrected

You can reach him by pressing the little envelop on the checker

TIL Lua is really bad at handling umlauts.

I did a bandaid fix so that the users affected can now check properly, but in the output the umlaut is replaced by two underscores.

Great! That should do it! Umlauts are not that common in user names after all.

Thanks a lot!
