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.

@Bubbameh - you mean this username cap? made by the one and only @Moose?
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
Thanks uʍɐɥs!
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?

Actually - it should be criminal to buy off this site.
