Re: [cobalt-users] Dissapearing user

["Rob Evans" <robe@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Jossi,
I tried to add a new user with an apostrophe in the full name recently, on
my Qube, and the GUI told me that the name was invalid.  So I just added it
without the apostrophe, and told the user I had to do it that way - she
understood.
Regards, Rob E.
