    Hi Alex,

    Thinking again about the problems my members have upgrading their free forum accounts made me realise:-

    Choose a Login Name (User ID) *

    It must be 4 or more characters in length and may
    only contain small letters, numbers, and
    the underscore '_'

    - I have a feeling that there are not the same restrictions on VB registrations meaning some members trying to upgrade could have these invalid characters in their names or very long usernames.

    Andy,

    I agree - My vbulleitn members use a varriety of different ways to make their usernames.

    Is it possible to disable this feature?

    I've seen there are some registration settings in amember on my latest upgrade for special characters.

    How do you find the check for uniqueness setting on signup? my members get well confused and end up creating new forum accounts.

    Uniqueness is checked in plugin code, it can be modified.

    By default, it requires that user must enter the same
    username and email and password to upgrade. You may
    outline this on signup page.
