You probably log in as aphexii sometimes and aphexII other times.

The username isn't case sensitive when it comes to authorizing access however the way you typed it will affect the way it appears in topic view.



Example:

If you logged in as ApHeXiI, it would show it that way in topic view.

aphexII is my version of aphextwin, a 'intriguing' techno artist.

In that case, you've got me.

Do you use two different PCs or dual-boot or something?

ok I'm testing your theory... I logged in as PAULSON

and as thought, it didn't work. case sensitivity isn't an issue, but once you create a user name, it wont change.

I assure that it does work, at least sometimes. I have done it before and learned it from other users here.

It doesn't change the way it appears in the thread itself, only in topic view.


It is discussed in this thread.

I was just curious because it was pointed out to me and i then noticed it too... When it showed that i had replied to a thread, it showed 'aphexii'
