user configuration
fixed db

Comment:

why is this fixme?

I lowercase it because when someone login as bob while his name is Bob it's 
possible that somewhere it would look up bob in the db, this is absolutely safe 
method to look up username, since it's impossible to create two users bob and 
Bob. I am of course not sure if it's possible in mw, but from my experience if 
you don't need to have stuff case sensitive it's better not to have it. So I 
see absolutely no problem in this, and I would like to keep it
