I tried to change a username from "rina" to "Rina" in the Admin area (Admin -> Users -> Modify), and encoutered the following problem:

The column 'Rina' must be unique, and already has an entry 'user_username'.

So there seem to be two little bugs:

first it is not possible to rename a user to the same name, but with different capitalization (also capitals in the middle or at the end of the username are not allowed.) I was able to change it through "rina -> rina2 -> Rina".

second, the error text seems to confuse the column (user_username) with the entry (rina).

Yes. I encountered this bug when I tried to change my username on this board from "wil" to "Wil". In the end I had to change my name from "wil" to "temp" and then back to "Wil" to change the capitalization. It's do with the fact that the system is not treating usernames as case sensitive, so to the system "wil", "Wil", wIl" will all be the same person.

Wil

- wil

It's to do with the mysql column being unique.

Yep. Therefore Wil, wil and wIl will be all different.

- wil

You mean the same.
