Emails/Usernames in use?
A friend and I just opened a message board recently and are having a problem with people who are not members trying to register and they are getting a message saying that their username or email are already in use when what they are using is NOT in use.
What is causing this and is there a way to fix it?
Thanks,
Dawn

Users & groups>Inactive users
Check if the username is there.
Or it could be this.
General>Forum>Security
Unauthorize subscriptions made with the most commonly used spam usernames. : No
Save
But, by choosing this option you are compromising on spam accounts being created on your forum. I highly suggest to keep this option as Yes.

Ok, if you recommend keeping that as a yes, then how do I fix the problem. The usernames and emails are not listed in my members list AT ALL.
What do I do?

Ask them to choose another username, there is no turnaround for it. You cannot change the default usernames that Forumotion considers as Spam usernames.

Thats the one i am talking about, it gives that error when the username is considered as a spam username.
