Jype can't deal with special characters such as "ä", "ö", "ü" and "ß"...

... or who causes my name to be misspelled? ;)

Perhaps Jyte has trouble, I don't know.
Just type it as 'ae' 'oe' 'ue' and 'ss' as this is generally faster than searching for umlauts.
I'm pretty sure this is an encoding problem. Changing my browser's page encoding from UTF-8 to ISO-8859-1 fixes your name, at least for me.
Anyway, edit your profile and copy/paste this in: "Timo Mika Gäßer".
if you actually intended all this to be about this site, please fix the tag "jype" to "jyte" and add "user interface" and "defect" and "encoding"
Jyte makes your name appear as "Timo Mika Gl��er" (diamond question marks) in UTF-8 using Firefox 2.0.0.3/WinXP and "Timo Mika Gl��er" using ISO-8859-1.
We tracked this down to a problem with ClaimID's OpenID server: They weren't specifying UTF-8 on the form for entering the registration information, so the encoding was wrong when the data was sent to jyte during the OpenID transaction.
