Suggestion regarding usernames [message #9467]

I've noticed that I can loging as 'autohost' yet the forum displayes it correctly as 'AutoHost' once I've logged in.

When I click on the Members link and type in 'autohost' it finds my 'AutoHost' user just fine.

However, when trying to add a user to a group as a Group Leader, I have to type in the exact case-sensitive user name.

So it seems that at least one username entry field is case-sensitive.

Please consider making the Group Leader add user entry box behave in the same case-insensitive way the others do (and any other username entry window that may be case-sensitive)

Thanks.

Case senstivity is actually something done not by the forum but rather the database server. It so happens that MySQL is case insensetive when search for non-binary text field, so all text searches should be case insensetive.
I will check group leader cannot match your name correctly.
