User name collisions?

[Funger]

I've just registered with the user name 'Funger'. I've also tried to register 'funger' but the forum reports the user name is taken. However searching for variations on the user name only returns one user, this account with the capital 'F'.

Does the forum prevent registering usernames with different case spellings, i.e. ignore case sensitivity?

Apologies if this has been asked already but I could not find it when searching.

...'Funger'....'funger'...

From your description it seems the username is sensitiveness for the forum. So when you are typing "Theymos" to call "theymos" then you are calling wrong for the system

I've just logged in as "jet cash" to check, so it seems it is not sensitive to case.

The others are right. Usernames are NOT case sensitive. You can use capital and lowercase letters.
Similarly, if you log onto a computer or other service online with a warning that caps lock is on, that warning usually only shows up for a password.
