Topic: Eeek! Multiple usernames

Heh, long time no see smile

I've discovered a bug which allows more then one of the same username.
Example: I could immatate Rickard's account by registering as & # 0052;ickard. (remove spaces)

Edit: Opps, that would be 4ickard... But you get the point. Just change the unicode character.

Yup, it is. Seems someone already found it.
Now to figure out how to stop forum members from abusing it...
