i was wondering if its possible to add sumthing where if a username is taken (or not allowed cose it has "admin" in it) that the vistor trying to registor gets a list of say 5 random Usernames to choose from like on MSN Chat (or should i say ALL of MSN now :P) they give you about 5 to choose from, i like the idea of that maybe this could be added to V7.3 |

| I think that's too much hasle for what it's worth. If the username is taken you just keep trying a different one - usually the random names that are suggested are crap anyway - besides how many users are you expecting? |

like i said... it was an idea! i think its a good idea, becose isnt it annoying when it just says "your names taken, go back and fill out ALLL that info again and this post was about adding it to WWG... NOT "do you like the names MSN Chat makes up for you?" and yes there crap... but the odd ones are funny anyway you could make sumfin to say add a number so you'd be "Sweet_55" if "Sweet" is taken... which am sure has never happened to you |
