Username in lowercase on registation

[giorgino]

Is there a way I can set up so that user names must be in first capital letters and rest in lowercase?

For example: Not USERNAME, not username but Username?

Can I use an preg_match formula in vB registration user options?

Thanks.

vboption s> user registration option s> username regular expression

Thank you Lynne, but I need to know the correct preg_match phrase. I already know where setup the option :)
(sorry for my english)

I was looking for the exact same thing, I tried a couple, but was still getting things I didn't want, like numbers and special characters in the name.

I haven't see any related istruction for lowercasing ... :(

The documentation is very confusing to me.

What do I need to get:

Username

First letter always capitalized and no 'special characters' (meaning no ÿ, just want y) and no numbers.

I PMed the original poster, and neither of us have been able to do this correctly. I'm not a programmer, and the information from the PHP site reads like Greek to me. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I've tried Googling for the info as well, but I keep running into very complex stuff, rather than just the right phrase to put in to force the 'Username'

Have you thought instead of just using css to make it capitalized - "text-transform:capitalize;" - or all lowercase "text-transform:lowercase;"

[RustyDogma]

Hmm... is the log-in not case sensitive? Was thinking I had to force it while they registered or they wouldn't be able to log-in. And unfortunately that doesn't resolve the issue of not wanting numbers in the name.
