UBB.threads PHP Forum Software Community Forums UBB.classic [Archived] UBB.classic Bugs [FIXED - 6.7.0-BR2] Public Name Check during registration does not function

Re: Previous topic - User can choose public name, even if already taken

I've applied this patch but have since encountered another problem:

Let's say, for example, I already have a member with the public name John. A new member has just joined calling themselves john. Could another next join calling themselves JOHN or JoHn?

This is starting to get confusing. Is this the designed behaviour, or a bug in which the check for existing names is incorrectly case-sensitive?

I've looked at pdnlist.cgi and both versions of the name are there.

I'd much prefer the case to be ignored to prevent having half a dozen John's of one form or another on my board.

I'd assume this means ubb_registration.cgi needs a similar patch

Agreed, I think that the variant should be off, only one john! lol..

I also don't like the CaSe sensatvity options (on anythign but passwords) but ah well...

Blast!!

I've now got two Steve's on my board, Steve and steve.

Please delete the duplicate member records, and apply the same patch to ubb_registration.cgi.

Beta Release 2 is going out early next week, hopefully Monday.

The same patch, meaningeach should be without ", 1". <img src="https://www.ubbcentral.com/boards/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

Thanks Charles

... and thanks LK for the clarification.

This is fixed in Beta Release 2. For record keeping purposes, the fix landed in rv205.
