It's a bug in the site. The user actually does have a name.

I understand, he may have a name of whitespace Smile | :)

I think CP engine should trim usernames before registering.

Hi everyone!

A legend under the discussion part in everyone's profile says:

Posting status:
Lurker       No Messages have been posted
Poster       The member has posted up to 100 messages
Regular      The member has posted from 100 up to 1000 messages
Personality  The member has posted 1000 up to 5000 messages
Fixture      The member has posted over 5000 messages

If you see my profile, I've already reached 100 (and even more) messages. By my poster status is still "Poster", not "Regular".

Why?

Best regards,

Dmitry.

Yeah I'm not sure but I think that stuff gets done in batch processes so it may take a day or two or whatever.

Hi
When posting message to forums there is one option called ignore HTML, good for code snippets. This will show all HTML in the message. So how can i quote some text when i am posting some HTML code sample ? So i suggest when ignore HTML is checked then don't remove the blockquote and other formatting tags

Cheers

You don't need to use a user name anymore for some odd reason.

What's the use of that?
I suppose that only one person can use this though,
Otherwise how would you know whether they were the same person or a totally different person?
Why would you not want a username Confused | :confused:

, you can come up with reaally coooool usernames, or interesting usernames like mine A*****

Yes. I just haven't had a chance to dig in and work out where the failsafes are, well, failing.

You realize that if you sign up with an incorrect username it creates the account anyway?

Yes, this is by design. If someone signs up to download code and can't find a username that's not taken we'd rather let them just get on with it and download zip files rather than forcing them to try and find that special unique name.

Allowing people to post articles and messagess without a name is the real bug.

Couldn't you assign the email address as the username then? If they want to change it later, they can - but this'd avoid situations where people do not have a username at all.

Well no - you can't do that. People would be mad if you exposed their email addresses.

How about a GUID?
