Tech <whimper> the search doesn't distinguish between lower and upper case letters

[MrsJohnCusack]

it's not really very important. just a bit annoying
but you see the name registration has allowed someone to be Arfy, whereas I was arfy

but when you search, it doesn't distinguish between the two and even shows 'arfy' on the search results page when it was 'Arfy' who posted

I just think if upper/lower case makes a difference when registering your chatname then it should also do so when searching by chatname....

I know I am pedantic

Arfy and arfy have to be the same person.

The name is what is logged against the email address, capitalisation doesn't matter.

the names aren't case sensitive so any combination of capitals and lower cse is only registered to one individual

What are you on about Arfy???

I just tried to log on as greensleeves, gReensleeves and GREENSLEEVES

None of them worked

Do you think Greeny has gone berserk and covered all the bases?

THEY'RE NOT THE SAME PERSON!!!!!

someone else has been able to post as Arfy LOOK - now I know I'm all hormonal and everything but I didn't post that. I wouldb remember

wasn't registered as arfy at that point but that doesn't usually matter does it? - that's why we can't use names when their owner is being 'someone else' temporarily. In fact it won't let me go back to arfy so I guess my name has gone now

BTW worked in IT so can take techy explanations.... . HOw come my name has gone when others haven't

I am only 8 weeks pregnant (mind you waist measurement is still bigger than the other Arfy's harrumph)

and I am not called Alison

i JUST TRIED FRANNYANDZOOEY NO LUCK THERE EITHER

I'll wait for JJ or Tech to clarify - but don't tell MJC it's impossible for two people to be the same name because it's not and I have proof

oh it was fundal height not waist measurement

stupid me
but not that confused - yet

yess but it won't let me be arfy anymore

anyway am going out now and will expect fulsome explanations upon my return

actually don't worry, just a bit miffed I can't go back to arfy

You need to email MNHQ and ask what is going on.

Are you sure no one had access to your PC to make a post?

Names are definately not case sensitive and should stay with the email address they are first taken by.

let us know the answer it sounds weird

did you find out the answer yet?

It happened to me.

did they explain how it happened?

and did you get the name back?

Yes.

And no.

ah
I don't know what's happened to me yet but I did email MNTowers yesterday

how did it happen..or are you not allowed to say? [puzzled emoticon]
