Suggestion: Logging in: "ignore capitalization for username"

[Pwnyta Jockey]

I suppose this could be done/considered...

On a website I use, and frequent, this option appears under (my/the) account options when I open the link to the options of my profile.

As my user name on that website has capitalized letters, there are times when trying to login that I incorrectly enter an individual letter (cap it; enter it as lowercase).

"Shift plus" keystrokes are still required for such things as underscores and numberlocks.

Isn't the login system already set like this by default? I've logged in as 'advancedk47' before without problem.

Yeah I just logged in with capris, maybe you should use an easier to type username Pwnyta Jockey. :s

 

[Pwnyta Jockey]

okay, just logged in using "pwnyta jockey"...

suggestion seems unnecessary. my bad.

Why do you even face this problem? I mean really who logs out on here?

 

[Cherrim]

Yeah, only the password is case-sensitive. Usernames aren't. You must have just typo'd. :)

Why do you even face this problem? I mean really who logs out on here?

Some people sign in on public computers (at school, libraries, etc.), some people share their computer with family members who also go on PC, and so on. Logging out isn't that uncommon, lol.

Yes, whenever you log in somewhere where you're sharing the computer with anybody, you just don't tick the "Remember Me" checkbox and PC will auto-log you out whenever you close the browser or leave it idle for 15 minutes and fall off the "Who's Online" list.
