Thread:Project:Support desk/Username lowercase/reply

1. No, you cannot. You would have to modify the code in includes/User.php, newFromName and the functions, which it calls. This code currently changes the first letter to uppercase. Although I do not know the exact reason for that, I well see that the other checks, which are performed to see, if a user is valid/usable/creatable, for a certain reason all do make sense. So I do not expect anything different here.

2. See 1. Maybe you actually can rename the username inside the database, table "user", but a) is going around the API that way not supported and b) would I expect funny errors to happen afterwards.
