I have a member who months ago asked politely for me to delete his account. I went ahead and did so, and now that he is asking to get back, he cannot register. We tried having him use a different username and email and it still would not work.

If there is a way around this please let me know.

Thanks.

No once a username has been deleted its gone forever
sorry!!!

I understand that. But even if its a variation of the name? i.e. Instead of BOOM he uses BOOM_01

The only way its doing a users backup, but I wouldnt do that...

Because you will lose all the members that registered till the backup date...

Tell that member to simply register aggain...

If your trying to edit the username it wont work he will have to register as said above.

He is trying to register with a new username and new email address and he cannot.

In ACP>>Users & Groups>>Ban Control check that his IP number and e-mail address are not on the list if they are then delete them

Also in ACP>>General>>User name censoring ..check that his user name is not on the list if so delete it

Also in ACP>>Users and Groups>>Users options...set for New accounts activation ... User
