Is it possible to prevent members signing-up with particular usernames? I'm sure I've seen this feature in the forum but I cannot find it - maybe I was dreaming!

For example, I may want to block obscene names, or admin/administrator/site moderator etc.

it is not a user feature.

you will have to edit the functions_common.asp file within the functions folder.

there is a function that checks if it is certain veriations

there is username, salt, password, admin etc already within it.

you can duplicate a line nad add others that you want black listed. but not able to do so through the admin area in the current version anyway.
