vanquish Posted January 4, 2007 Share Posted January 4, 2007 I'd like to see when people register on an ipb board if they input a username or display name thats taken id lnice to have it so there is lets 5 recommended names based on the one they want if it's taken,I think this would benefit some board with high traffic.

stobbo Posted January 4, 2007 Share Posted January 4, 2007 If someone put stobbo in wouldn't it reccomend things like:stobbo1stobbo2stobbo3Which would be bad as you wouldn't want loads of people with the same name bar a number. My opinion anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keith J. Kacin Posted January 4, 2007 Share Posted January 4, 2007 The way this is usually handled is on form where more information is requested. Such as your city, your birthday, etc.It usually adds on your birthday. Like Keith1984.But since IPB does not take in that data on registration, it is hard to give suggestions that are actually relevant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
