I posted last night about a problem encountered in changing my username because someone else was also using same name. Although I soon managed to sort it out it seems there was some confusion caused by someone logging onand deliberately using existing members' usernames. This is the only forum I know of that asks for registration details and still allows duplicate usernames. Surely it could not be that difficult to install a filter system or whatever it is that others use to prevent duplication and in some cases abuse of the forum. I am sure that it would also save the moderators a bit of trouble in trying to sort out which are genuine postings and somone having a laugh at the expense of members.

We're told that for the time being updating the forum engine is not viable. There are plans to upgrade.
Is that why Haymarket Publications have bought the Pistonheads website to utilise its better forum? :)
