Earlier today, I had a friend join my forum, so that she could assist me with the graphics.
Upon registering with her desired username of "Bastet" she was informed that the username had already been taken.
I knew that this was impossible due to the fact that at the time, I was the only member that was registered to the site.
Now, that exact occurence has been resolved the long way around, by which she signed up under another name, and I then changed her username to "Bastet" in the administration panel.
The reason for my posting here, is to discover two things.
1. Why did this happen in the first place, since I KNOW for a fact that the name was free before hand?
2. Is there any way to prevent this occuring again in the future?
Thank's for any help that can be provided.
Sincerely,
Andae92.
