In earlier versions of Tiki, usernames for login were case insensitive.
marclaporte = MarcLaporte
Now, they are case sensitive:
marclaporte <> MarcLaporte
This is a usability problem, especially with non-technical users.
When trying to login with their username (with a different case) they get "Invalid username or password".
So they try to use tiki-remind_password.php (again with the wrong case) The error message is: "Unable to send mail. User has not configured email: MarcLaporte"
So they end up trying to create another user. When they try to create a new user with a different case, they get an error "User already exists". If usernames are really case sensitive, I should be able to create 2 distinct users, MarcLaporte and marclaporte. This would obviously lead to confusion.
My request / suggestion:
Restore case insensitiveness in usernames for logins (or at least restore the option with much better error messages when in case sensitive mode)
Thanks!

Done in 1.10!
