    Is it going to be possible to have the username as your email address? So then everyone will be unique? Is there an option for this?

    Thanks

    It is by default.
    Username will be present in database, but it may be generated and user may never know it.
    For login it is possible to use e-mail address. From scratch, with zero configuration.

    Of course, it requires e-mails to be unique.

    I'm using 4.1.14, all of my usernames that I imported from 3.2.4 are email addresses. Everything imported just fine but if I try to change anything on the admin-users? page - I get an error:

    Username contains invalid characters - please use digits and letters

    I have commented out two lines in the "AdminUsersController.php" file (lines 22/23)

    if(!preg_match(Am_Di:: ...
    return ___("Username ...

    This works but I hate hacking into the code. Any chance of getting @ added to your preg_match?
