I would like to have the availability to set my forum up on registration and log in using their e-mail address they used on their registration; rather than username
.
That's not a bad idea actually. Adds the layer of security that nicknames would.
I like the idea of using usernames and emails - this should be a setting in the ACP:
- Login with usernames only.
- Login with emails only.
- Login with either username or email.
What about having a different username for login? I think I saw this before, but may be a cool idea. However, using the e-mail uses less resources.
Display names is what you're thinking of and I know it's a feature in IPB.

I agree with you
That's exactly what I thought Clarkie. That to me is more secure and I did use it when I strayed from mybb. That is the ONLY thing I cannot do with mybb that I could do on IPB.
I like and agree with the options Clarkie listed
It would help those who are used to other sites (like Facebook
)
