Happens when people register a name similar but subtlely different to an existing one... it's happened before...

for example: "Bârd"

hrrrmmmmm....

I could have sworn I saw someone say something about it being linked to the fact that Cloud had done something with the old database. I could be wrong.

Well check this out, same userid different user profile- both appearing on the main page beside each other:

http://boards.ie/vbulletin/member.php?action=getinfo&userid=3944

http://boards.ie/vbulletin/member.php?action=getinfo&userid=15816

Definitely a database mix up..

Still happening for me and a number of other users.

Is it actually something to do with Cloud's recent work on the site?
