I've just had a message from Jason about a post from Woodsmith on the s/f site, but I am woodsmith

Are the names on this site case sensitive too? so someone can register the same name but use a capital.

Dewy mentioned he registered all the options for his name on some forums.

Strange to have someone with the same name, definately confusing.

And if he had read any posts on that site he would have seen my name, so it is strange that he chose it.

O no, that is not good someone using your name mate.  Could rubbish your name on there, i might go and offer a deal with the guy to change it to metalsmith

Dewy, I tried to register here last night as Woodsmith, using my business email address, and it wouldn't let me, said the name was already being used. So that's why I thought it was not case sensetive.

nah it's 2^length

No worries, I don't think it would let me, like I said, as an experiment, I tried to register usind a capital and it wouldn't let me, so I don't think it is a problem here.

Anyway as the moderators and admin are so accessible here they would soon get something like this sorted.

I tried the same last night Keith.
When I logon with all lower case letters it won't accept me.
I tried registering 'dewy' & it said the name is already in use.
The moral is, make sure you type the name exactly as registered.
I think the way SF have it set is stupid.

like i said it's 2^n but it's good that you can't use it here
