No, this is failsafe.. Users without JS will see the default 'username already taken'-message when they submit the form :)

Thanks for quick answer. Just came from your site. This is a really useful hack.

Don't expect a fast reply from me within the next few hours.. Iam going to explain my girlfriend what AJAX really does ;) :D

vB is some kind of illness.. Once I started coding and stuff only my girlfriend gets me to sleep :ermm:

What does this do? Maybe its me I couldnt work the demo (english) but unless I am missing something when a user picks a name that is already on my site they get an error message. what is this for exactly? Sorry I am just not sure what this is for.

it will save the user's time when submitting the form ..
eg. if they know that the username is already taken they will likely change it before submitting it

Ahhhh nice action. Oh ok. that's nice...
You know what would be HOT if that worked for email as well.
myspace.com does this. (not the name) but the email address.
Ohhhh even better.
imagine it works with accounts you block as well?
say I block AOL in the admincp bob puts bob@aol.com it tells him in advance.


same for referals. if a user adds a referer and they dont exist the response is confusing for some. (try it) with this configured properly it could tell them that this user does not exist thus you cant use this name as a referer.

Hummm might as well huck up the registration page fully! its the hard close on the sell right?

If you guys do that... that would be insane.

Does this add aa query with every key press, then?

yes it does (for every username--key)

Is that bad if you have more than 6000 members?

Well now, ain't this a beautiful thing!

Works great on 3.0.7

/me installs!
