Color codes in nicknames

[Holek]

Lately, I've seen people using color codes in their nicknames to change their nick colours in games.

These codes create various problems:

Unable to identify player's team.
Make the Steam Community XML files unable to process (an example (http://steamcommunity.com/profiles/76561197991146365?xml=1))


Please fix that.

This was mentioned in antoher thread already.
I can't tell you when they'll fix it, but I think they said something about encoding it in hex.

At least they already know about it and don't ignore it, so it will be fixed :)

I'll add the post as a quote when I find it.

EDIT:
JeffS has been looking into this issue. I haven't talked with him about it lately, but I think we'll actually end up having to encode the content as hex because of the limitations of CDATA.

But I like them, they make me feel special

They'll be gone soon.

Good riddance.
