Case insensitivity on account names

    As the title implies, I'd like to see case-insensitive account names. It took me something like ten minutes to figure out why my login wasn't valid (a lower-cased y rather than Y), and it's such a simple thing.

    It would be easier to steal someone's account if it's not case sensitive.

     


    Messed up this post, don't mind it.

    Actually, case sensitivity is worse. For example, boxmein and Boxmein and BoxMein would be three different users.

    Most systems have the ONLY thing that's case sensitive is the password, while usernames are NEVER case sensitive. Whoever figured this out to make usernames case sensitive must have been INSANE.
