Username question

1 reply

olidusUrsus · 19/11/2013 12:57

Can more than one person be registered with the same username if they use capital letters in different places? For example, if I searched for "ilovefrogs" and got results for both "ilovefrogs" and "iloveFrogs", they'd be different posters, right? So is there a way to search for only "ilovefrogs"? Tedious example

Cheers.

@olidusUrsus

Ah ok, I see what you mean. Ty Miranda for the experiment! I think it's odd though - surely if capital letters weren't recognised in a username (meaning you couldn't duplicate someone's name by chucking in a capital letter somewhere) and I signed in as OlidusUrsus one day, MN would automatically correct it to olidusUrsus (which is what I wrote when I registered and so is on their database). Weird.

So the hypothetical ilovefrogs and iloveFrogs are the same person?

Yes, we think so
