    Posted: 11 September 2003 at 8:50am
I have a problem with the passwords and case sensitivity.

If someone chooses a password that is half upper case and half lower case and they go to log in and type the password exactly as they did the first time, the password can't be found but if they type it all lower case it logs in no problem. E.G.

password = "TESTing" is only recognised when the user types in "testing"

Can anyone shed any light on this?

Thanks

Passwords are converted into lower case using the LCase method in the file register.asp.

Also when you login on the login_user.asp passwords are converted to lower case, this should make the passwords case insesitive when entred throughout the forum.

Thanks, I've changed the register.asp page and it's working fine.
