Okay, another prefix question. YES I SEARCHED, but I'm not going to search through 2 pages of what seemed like the same exact question.

I know how to add a prefix, I know it only allows 6 characters, but why doesn't it allow «BsF»? Is there a cap on special characters too?

At the login screen it looks fine, but when I enter a game, it ends up like this: -BsF»

Sorry if this question was in the search area, but would you really look through 2 pages of topics? Didn't think so.

Thanks for the help.

Make sure you are putting it in the global.con file, not directly ingame.

Heh. Lemme get this straight? You started a new thread because Search turned up too many answers and you couldn't be bothered to read them. Unbelievable.

I think that was the general idea behind adding a search button.....

whats the point in having a forum if you ain't gonna be helpful with what you say. Don't like it, don't post in the topic, simple.

I have the problem where I put it in the global file, but it didn't show up on the log in screen

Yeah, and I'm sure you would look through 2 pages of useless topics, too. Plus, of all the reading, i've never come across anything about this special character, and by the looks of it, it was worth not searching through it all because I haven't gotten a link to that topic. So.. instead of being a dick, how about you link me to this so called topic. kthx.

Actually, yes I would. And I also did it for you. Why? I have no fucking idea but it probably won't happen again.

Please... don't do it again. That didn't help, nor did I learn anything. Maybe if you actually understood my problem, or read more than one sentence, you would get it. Here.. I'll quote myself to show you this link was useless:

"I know how to add a prefix, I know it only allows 6 characters."

Thanks for the 'help'

Yeah that had nothing to do with this guys problems. As far as I know this is an original problem, and unfortunately I don't know the answer. Sorry mate.

Useless huh?

Even when the answer to your problem is staring you directly in the face you don't have the sense to see it.

Jesus Christ! What does it take? I gave you a link to the exact post which solves your problem.

Did you even bother to read the post I was kind enough to find for your lazy ass?
Was it "just too much to read"?
Do I need to come over to your freakin' house and walk you through it?

You asked me please, not to help you again. Against your request, I'm going to try to help you one more time.

Go back up to the post I linked you to.
Actually READ it this time (if that's too much effort, maybe you could have someone read it for you).
Do EXACTLY what it says.

Capiche?

EDIT: I forgot to mention, your clan tag still looked kinda funky in the scoreboard (kinda more like xxBsF») but as you can see in the screenie above it looks fine ingame. Don't know why it has the three little blue dots under it but at least the chevron is there.
