Username cap
5Just joined and don’t think I capitalized the first letter of my username. So is Meh doing it for me? Or maybe I did it by accident. Being a nix user I normally pay attention to caps and normally don’t capitalize my user name. I’m asking because I had trouble logging in. It appears Meh ignores caps (which is criminal) but I don’t want to try it again or might get locked out (or something silly like that).

@bubbameh you can change it. The icon at the top right with a head in a circle will go to your account.
Welcome!
How is it criminal to ignore caps in a field strictly used for user ids in a consumer area?
@Pantheist you’ve got me it’s pretty standard practice across the web. Doing the opposite would be poor UX design.

Actually - it should be criminal to buy off this site.
@Bubbameh - you mean this username cap? made by the one and only @Moose?
if it’s anything like Woot, your username will appear however you type it when you log in – at least, that’s how I think it was. Who knows?

We display usernames using vanity case (that is to say we store and display the casing as it’s typed by the user). Any operations that involve usernames are case-insenstive (that is to say authentication and @ mentions ignore the casing as it’s typed by the user).
You can change the casing of your username at any time here: https://meh.com/account
