Ideal solution:username is always lowercase original capitalization is stored in the database in the user profile this avoids any SQL TOUPPER (always tolower the input text via JavaScript or similar before feeding to SQL) and allows the user to see "BoB" everywhere. You might also want to strip away punctuation and whitespace, so that "Boba Fett!!" is mapped to "bobafett". For extra points, allow the user to edit the stored, case sensitive username and treat it as a separate entity from the all-lowercase name (a la Mac OS X installer screen).
i dunno. i think that stuff is useful for myspace, but for what we're doing? i'm not convinced, but maybe i'm on the fence. _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ Open Source Applications Foundation "Design" mailing list http://lists.osafoundation.org/mailman/listinfo/design
