ok quotes fixed for email, no longer contains return error.

also for all these small fixes all you need to do is replace your 3.0.7 register.js with the updated one.

Update is good, however I have one concern.

When you try and use an email address that's already in use, it tells you which username is using it.

This has major privacy concerns. It just needs to say it is in use, not who is using it.

Yes i thought the same thing!

not really...

lets say your already a member but don't know your username, and try to register again it will remind you.

Plus someone would already have to know your email address to find out your username, and im pretty sure that if they owned that email they could just recover the password to get the login info.

I love this add on but am experiencing an issue with the username check. For instance, one member tried to register using the word Phoenix and received an error that this name contains a banned phrase.

When I was made aware of this, I attempted to register the member name of Phoenix and got the same error. But I went one step further and tried to register a name that was in my bad word filter list and on banned member name list within the ACP.... that word was allowed to be registered.

My question is: What controls the banned word phrase and how is it adjusted to remove ok words?


Edited to add: I can register the membername of phoenix but not Phoenix (the difference being the capital P).

HI,

*installed* great mod.

But registration ist not possible with an email adress that contains a dot

aaa.bbb@ccc.com

It always says email doesnt match

Sorry I disagree. It's a privacy issue. I have managed to edit the file to remove that bit. I would get shot by my members if we allowed someone who knew someone's email address to track what username they were using...it contravenes many sites' sign up terms that state emails and their associated data are kept private.

I need to do that too but have not been able to edit that out successfuly. Any chance you can post what you took out to achieve this?

Thanks in advance.

In the file clientscript/register.js

Find:
Replace with:
That should do it. It's perfect with that bit taken out.

Thanks for the update
