Chrisb Posted April 25, 2005 Share Posted April 25, 2005 I have just noticed that there is a forum member with the same log-in name as me (Where do you come from? thread in Post Bag) and coincidentally I also live in Normandy (50) near to St Lo. I am not particularly bothered by the fact, but was surprised to see that 2 people could have the same name - some of the wind-up merchants that post on here could use it to their advantage to really set some sparks flying!!Chrisb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ex Forum Admin Posted April 27, 2005 Share Posted April 27, 2005 The forum software won't allow two users to use the same name. The other Chrisb in this case has a lower case 'c'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dick Smith Posted April 27, 2005 Share Posted April 27, 2005 "The forum software won't allow two users to use the same name. The other Chrisb in this case has a lower case 'c'."Ummm.That isn't all that different, then really, to allowing 2 people to have the same username. Or as many as there are letters in the original - 1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chrisb Posted April 27, 2005 Author Share Posted April 27, 2005 I'm with Dick on this - I did notice after I had posted that the other Chris had a small 'c' but one wouldn't notice this at a casual glance - would it not be better for the names not to be 'case specific' - this would then avoid any possible confusion - just suppose someone decided to be dicksmith, miki, or god forbid, Outcast - what fun they could have!!Chrisb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ex Forum Admin Posted April 27, 2005 Share Posted April 27, 2005 OK, I'll investigate the options.EDIT:It would appear that the forum names aren't case sensitive....so not sure on how this happened.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
