As on my test, the username creating a site together with user account, only allow a-z 0-9 (if i'm not wrong)
and user containing space leading to a loop.
But as said i will return over to check again about this, if it is true or not because could be due to cookie wrongly set: the space char is not correctly encoded but maybe i'm totally out of the way, a check about this is required.

Hi!

I recently encountered this one on my multisite too - with spaces in usernames imported from phpBB.

Should I apply the fix above, or did you decide to do something in an update?

Cheers.

Hello guys, as said into previous post i'm over for the 2.4.5 release.
Just installed a test wp mums, so that this issue will be soon fixed (or almost we'll go to see what was going wrong about this).
