Hi Karsten

I just read this in another thread - what's your advice ?


... Stars changed the naming conventions for the handhistories some days ago. This means if your screenname contains special characters it would be represented as a different name now. You should create an alias containing all variations of your stars screen name and switch the player name for the reports to this alias.

** Did PS do this to to get around problems with their notes.xml ?

** Does this mean my 100's (in some cases 1000's) of HM HH's on any villain with special characters in their screen names will no longer be associated with that villain & so the # of hands & other stats in the HUD will be set back to zero ?

** The same applies to my PS notes on them - notes not associated & colours too ?

** My HM notes on them ?

If so...

** Do I have to search for these villains in my DB & alias them (or perhaps use a find/replace prog to change their HH names & re-import old HH's) ?

** If I alias them my HUD will respond slower I suppose ?

I don't remember the exact date but it was at least 3 weeks ago.
