Remove spaces from username prior to login credential matching

Hi @julien, @PitaJ ,

Assume you have a forum user with a username of: "someemail@gmail.com"
The user may login to the forum using his password.

However, if the user typed "someemail@gmail.com " (note the space following the email), the credentials wont' match.
The added space can be a result of copy/paste, or just an error from the user side.

I verified this behavior with this forum as well. It can be easily replicated by yourself.

I think this can help, and it may be a small change. Not sure however

All the best,
JJ.

@julian said: So I'd have to make multiple hits against the database to check if the following users exist: John John Frikkin John Frikkin Doe John Frikkin Doe how John Frikkin Doe how are John Frikkin Doe how are you John Frikkin Doe how are you today See the problem? I thought about this while posting the thread. I think I'll just disallow spaces in usernames But hey, thank you for the extensive reply!

@psychobunny said: TBH I've been an admin/mod in several forums over my life and I always hated the idea of changing usernames in the first place ^^ This, usually. It's worse when they start using a new set of graphics to go with their "new persona". To be fair however, I can also remember picking a really stupid username and being glad I could change it. shudders

I've noticed a few users click login, attempt to login, fail, and then leave. We should increase our conversions by automatically opening accounts with the details provided (and prompting users to enter details like their email/username or w/e is missing). How can we implement this functionality?
