Just wonder if I threw this one in it might spark and idea or two. If I set that emails to cannot be duplicated it means there is another barrier to resales as customers have to remember or retrieve their account details. First time buyers have to enter username / password unless generated in which case they get strange ones that they will forget. If I set emails allowed to be duplicated within the system this gets around this but the end result is a very messy database of clients. I think its worth noting I don't use it for protected web pages. Is it possible to automatically merge accounts with the same email address on sign up so they don't have to sign in or just to add the product on to the existing account with the email address they are using?
