 sn-1/?#post-141606

 basically since the 1.6 update, the system has allowed people to register
 with spaces in their usernames AND with uppercase characters. The spaces
 are being converted to hyphens, but the user is unaware of that since they
 never receive their username via email after registering.  This has become
 a customer service NIGHTMARE!
