Thank you for the answer.

Could be using an invisable space at the end hard to tell unless you highlighted the whole name.
All these look the same but have invisable blanks after them highlight them to see what I mean.

Hello !

There is a trick for sure !
Here how i can proove it :
Go to your forum and click on Memberlist button
-> Username = No then submit
-> Result 5* no_fear_banjаr !
-> Then select one of them and right click -> Copy (dont copy link, just normal copy)
-> Username = "Paste" and submit again
-> Result = Only member you copied will appear

There is a trick on this and for sure i will track that topic to know how he did.
Even with viewing source of memberlist html code i did not discovered how that guy managed to do that.

NB : I created account Neptune[FM] on your forum.
Would you be nice enough to delete that account ?

heres what you do if you get someone like that doing it.
send them a pm and say you do not allow duplicate user names or double accounts, and that you are going to delete all accounts accept the first one they created, or if you like give them one of their choice?(up to you). then if a person continues to do this. ban the ip and user names by copying them then placing in the banned user bar.. and ban the email to.. but there is no trick to use the same email so you wont have to worry about that.

oh and another thing. have it set so members have to activate their accounts through the email the registered with. it's only a matter of time befor someone gets sick of creating different email accounts and going into them to activate the account when you are only going to shoot it down.

But thats about all i can suggest for now.. and this will be passed on to the tech asap upon their return on Monday.

Hi,

The user IS using an invisible icon, it's like the ♥, but it's only invisible, even when you high light it, it is invisible, it just looks like a blank space (IE hitting the space bar: a " ")

That is the ONLY way it is possible, I believe it has already been mentioned in this thread as well Wink

What exactly do you want us to do?

There's no way to prevent anyone from putting it as their name, and you cannot censor it either TT

Offcourse i wan't that problem fixed, so a new user cannot make a same username again if that possible. Is that possible?
