I just updated to 9.05 using the Membership API with the WWF login disabled. When I try to change a user's group, I get an error message that the "username is already taken". I am not trying to change the username, but the user's group. Is this not possible under the new API?

It shouldn't do this, it could be a corrupted file though, so try reuploading the original 9.05 again.

I just uploaded a fresh 9.05 and still get the same error message. The only changes I have made is to set the variables in the memebrship API to "True", "True" and set my URLS.

I noticed however, that if I set blnMemberAPI back to "False", I can modify the user's group again.

here is the problem AND temp solution (Only by using MemberAPI!!!) from my point of view:

the admin_register.asp something about line 234 checks, if we submitted a username.
BUT: form field username is disabled if memperAPI is TRUE

so the form does not submittes an username

1.) Change

If strUsername = "" Then blnUsernameOK = False

If strUsername = "" AND blnMemberAPI = false Then blnUsernameOK = False

2.) something around line 250 >> change

If blnUsernameOK Then

If blnUsernameOK AND blnMemberAPI = false

Then
so we do not check if username already taken - can only be temp solution because of an update without memberAPI this is also a "bug"
