    Can't search gamer tags with spaces on Arcade web site

    Tried searching gamer tags of friends on the Arcade web site and i'm getting an error with tags that have a space in them. Like my own gamer tag.

    A forbidden character has been detected. Please retry.

    Hey Igniter! Are you sure you are searching within the FC5 Arcade Map search for Xbox users? Do you have any current published maps that are not showing in searches?

    Yes, I am searching in the Xbox section. I don't have any published maps yet. I am able to search and find my friends who have gamer tags with no spaces and add them to profiles to follow. When I try to search for friends who have spaces in their gamer tag an error message box pops up and says " A forbidden character has been detected. Please retry."

    That's not all. The map name search also doesn't allow "special characters". This means you can't directly search for a mapname with an apostrophe ( ' ) in it. For example: "SEED'S REVENGE" can not be found by entering "Seed's". You'll then have to type "Revenge" instead, and browse for the correct entry.
