Use case-insensative usernames. IE This and tHIS are both valid.
 

Hi.

I want to use case insensative usernames on my forums, so 2 usernames can have the same characters with different cases, and this be valid on the forums.

This is because of integration with a legacy system. Does anyone have any idea of where to start?

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks

Lyndon

You meant case sensitive, not case insensitive.

If you want case sensitivity, you should modify the username column of the user table in the database to a case sensitive collation. I have absolutely no idea what changes, if any, would be needed in vb itself.

yes, I do mean case.

Any other possible tips?

I doubt this can be done, it would probably break a lot of functionality in vBulletin as there are many queries executed that rely on the fact that the username is case-insensitive.
