Please Help,

I have migrated from webwiz forums 8.... > 11.07 and all went technically well.
But when I tried to add a new registration this what I see:
The User name you requested is already taken, not permitted, or is less than the required number of characters.
Please choose another User name. I have checked every possibility in the admin settings
but no result.
I have used a dozen names from who I knew they were not used. no luck.
Please help out

Thanks

Check the 'Spam Filter' in the Admin Area of your forum.

The Spam Filter since version 8 allows for the use of Regular Expressions for more powerful word searching.

This can though mean that if you use a charters such as * which is a wild card in Regular Expressions that it is detecting all usernames as using words that are not allowed by the spam filters.
