I was looking at http://project-gc.com/Statistics/TopCachesDay?country[]=&country[]=United+States&region[]=Vermont&submit=Filter and using it to do some other things with GSAK.

I noticed that the second name down was rendering at nhblues.  However GSAK was giving me an error for that user name.

After clicking on it, the name is nhblues<3.  The graphic was not showing the other characters.I don't know what other special characters are not be escaped cleanly.

A fix has been applied in our development environment. It's likely to go live within a week.

Thank you for your detailed bug report, it made it easy to fix the issue.

Looks good.  It made it to the live site.
I may have spoken too soon.  While the original bug is fixed, I stumpled  upon another case not handled cleanly.

For the URL:
http://project-gc.com/Statistics/TopCachesDay?region[]=Maine&region[]=Massachusetts&region[]=New+Hampshire&submit=Filter

The second username down (Again, that is a bit uncanny)  is C&TH.  It renders as C&amp;TH in both firefox and Chrome.
We made a change in the fix (http://project-gc.com/qa/?qa=8720/error-presentation-of-username-with-diacritic-characters). Which seemed to cause other issues.

We will have to look closer at this I guess.
