Hello,
i have a simply form.
The people should select a username.
But every username can only appear once.
I have found this form validation:
But theres a little problem.
Example: The username thats just in use ist: carlo
But when anyone inserts:
carlos
as username, thats O.K.
But this form validation says: Username just in use.
How can i change this validation?
Thanks a lot for the help.
Bye Carlo
