Forum bug

Post by HeavilyArmedEffigy »

I hope this is OK to put here since it's a problem with the forum and not the game. Anyway, I registered yesterday under the username "effigy" and started playing. I can play the game just fine, but when I try to access the forums while logged in as effigy, it gives me an error message that looks like this:

While logged in as effigy, I cannot even visit the forum. Is it in any way possible to fix this problem, so I don't have to use separate accounts for the forum and the game?

Sounds more like a coincidental coding issue then anything. In otherwords, you might be out of luck for that particular username.

That's what I was thinking, too. Well, it's not really a big problem anyway, so I'll live with it.

The problem is that phpBB folds username case in its index, while Haven otherwise allows for usernames differing in case. It could probably be fixed by changing phpBB's username canonicalization function, but I don't really know how to properly convert the current contents of the index if I do that.
