[SOLVED] Why can't I login with my email?

[EpicPenguin]

Pretty simple stuff, from my point of view. If I get my name changed to something with a lot of crazy characters, it might be hard to log back in the first few times or on another computer. Being able to login with my email would fix all that.

But your username is not alot of random characters. It's rather easy to remember so why do we need this feature. In my opinion this is a bad idea.

In the Mod CP the mods can see everything about your account, including your email, they could easily use it to access your account then.

But so many other websites allow you to login with your email, and it works out fine for them.

But why do we need it here? There is really no point in it IMHO.

Honestly, I think this is a pretty stupid idea.

Ya who would change their name to a bunch of random characters? Don't you think thats kind of random. Really what point are you trying to make?

After I thought about it for a second, I think that being able to login with your email might not look like it has much of a purpose...

Your right, it does not. I can't think of any reason why it is a good idea.

I was going to say that.

That is pretty much the answer. We aren't one of those sites. It shouldn't be a problem. We had it like this for 4 years. It isn't changing anytime soon.

But they can't see your username, Amirite?

If you were to make such a change to your username, just say "Remember me" or make a text document with your name that you can CopyPaste or something.
