Click 'Members', search By Login using "gribnif" and it says 'none found'. But if you enter in "Gribnif" then it finds it just fine.
Same with my login name.
Must be recent bug, as it works just fine in my v2.3.5 board.

I think that, for ease of use, this feature really should use a "like" query, so that the search will be case-insensitive.
You can't expect your users to know the exact case of someone whose name is something silly like GrIBnIF (I've seen people do this!)

It's a balance, if I allow case insensetive searches the 'alias' pool is reduced since you no longer can have Joe and JOE and joe, etc... there can only be 1 joe.
