Problems creating account on BBS reddit / bbs ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 8evolutions · 2019-05-10 00:33 So, I made a BBS using Synchronet, and I decided that it might not be a bad idea to create an additional "test" account, to make sure other people can register. Well, I tried it, and no matter what name I entered to register, it would always come up with the error ***"You can't use that name (duplicate or invalid)"*** This was never a problem creating the first SysOP account. Thoughts? EDIT: Problem solved. It won’t accept a single-word alias as a full name, so uou need to literally enter 2 strings separated by a space for FULL NAME so it reads it as ‘FIRSTNAME LASTNAME’ ---------------------------------------------------------------------- electronicchicken · 2019-05-10 03:08 In `SCFG -> System -> New User Values -> Question Toggles` one of the settings is `Force Unique Real Name`. If you're trying different aliases but supplying the same real name, that could be a problem. The aliases you're trying may be disallowed via `text/name.can`. Those are two things to check anyhow. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 8evolutions · 2019-05-10 14:18 Solved!
