I just tried to /msg someone who has a space in his name and couldn't figure out how until after I'd done some Super Searching. Couldn't we document this in the CB help (how do I use this?) section? I looked there and didn't find that information.

If you're trying to talk to someone who has a space in their name, you'll have to use an underscore (_) instead of the space in their name.
