Hi,

I'm having problems with my new board; some members can register no problem but others are being told that the username is already taken.

This is not possible as the board is brand new and I only have 5 members.

Maybe their username is too long or too short but I can't find a way to alter this in the admin panel.

Please help!

Regards and thanks

Carloss

It is possible actually (i think) maybe he is trying to make his username the same as someone else in your forum hope this helped

Definitely not possible.

I have 3 new members with the same problem, all using unique usernames.

C

oh then.....thats wierd

Hello,

Sometimes, the usernames most used by spammers are blocked.

What was the username ?

One of the usernames was TUG

Thanks

He needs to try to register with another username

I'll get him to change it.

Thanks

Same happens on my forum and i have 47 members

Hello,

It isn't related to the number of users but to the username chosen.

oh okay, so basically, my forum is protecting it's self?
