Format Username (capitalization)

[Spetnik]

This hack lets members change the capitalization of their usernames (but not the username itself). I used some of PPN's Change Username to help myself out (thanx):).

I think this is a nice idea, but i dont think id like to use it,

I am gonna test it out :D Maybe integrate it with the store if I have time :)

Good idea, I didn't my users changing their whole name ;).

Sorry can you explain in other words? I don't understand what this hack does? :)

Birdie501: Do you have AIM? If you do, you know that little feature, format screen name? Well this is kinda like that. You can change your username's appearance without changing the username.

Like this:
"AfteRLaB" instead of "afterlab"

[proxyMX]

it allows you to change the caps in a username

eg

birdie would be changed to Birdie if you wanted to change the b.
I think anyway.

OK got it, thanks!

Correct, it is like in AIM (except AIM also lets you add spaces).
So Spetnik could be SPETNIK or spetnik or SpEtNiK :)/

It would be even more awesome if you allowed spaces... that isn't a new username, the same username just with spaces.

Yeah, I thought of that. However, I would also have to impose an extra restriction at registration and it would be harder to implement on sites where a space/non-space username conflict exists.
