Someone Has The Same Username As Me!

Options
:mad: to the forum managers

Please could you tell me how it is possible that someone else on this site is allowed to have the same username as me? I am really upset about this and don't want people mistaking "Liewe Heksie" for "liewe heksie".

Thanx

    It does seem allow people to sign up with the same username but in a different case. Not sure why to be honest but if you keep your avatar people won't mistake you.

    Hi heatherw01, thanx for that, it's just a bit disconcerting, don't want people mistaking us for each other, that's all. Does that mean I can't ever change my avatar?

    Thanx
