"Duplicate" Usernames

Ted,

Don't know whether this is a known feature of not, but I just spotted a new member called "FISH" and wondered how that might clash with the original "fish"?

Case-sensitive field for the username, by any chance, Ted?

[PetrolTed]

Nope, it's not case sensitive.

It had been preceded with spaces. I've modified the code to prevent this in future.

Damn. I was close though, inasmuch I was onto the database not identifying it as a non-unique value.

(Which I guess is bleedin' obvious really, so I should have just refrained from posting and continued to be thought of as a fool instead of posting and confirming the fact. )
