Dr Neo Lao works as it should, drneolaothesecond still repeats the name (Drneolaothesecond:drneolaothesecond - Username not valid).

so far I have it down to one function, for some reason... it's not behaving like it's supposed to.

Code: Select all

DEBUG:validDomain?
DEBUG:setDomain?
getUsername: Kisai
1. DEBUG: Kisai
2. DEBUG: authenticate:Kisai
3. DEBUG: attempting to check password
4. DEBUG: Password OK
Login successful
Above is what you should see

Code: Select all

DEBUG:validDomain?
DEBUG:setDomain?
newFromName(0)
getUsername: Kisaitest1
1. DEBUG: kisaitest1
newFromName(2)(/valid)
DEBUG:allowPWDCH?
DEBUG:modifyUI?
Log in / create account
Below is what's happening with usernames that begin with lowercase. For some reason forcing the username to return as lowercase makes it do nothing.

It's a really odd bug - I've never heard of it before.

Was there any upgrades / patches from Mediawiki recently?

All the red boxes have changed to say the username, rather than the password, is wrong.

Looks like the fix worked, though some people will be initially confused...

It's definitely working now.

All forum members who had a name that started with a lower case letter now need to log in with the first letter upper-capped. If you log in with lower case letter, the forum will let you in but you then won't be able to log into either the SiteAdmin or the Wiki.

I seem to be having this problem with my old account... trying to post twice as was suggested.
