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.

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!

@Ryan-Feng I believe this can be done with a change in the theme templates for your site. We do send over the group label, and that should contain the colour hex value, which you can use as a style attribute for the username itself.
