Geeklog Forums

We have just updated the geeklog.net site to use the Forum Plugin Version 2.3.2.

Your forum upgrade made it impossible for me to post under my normal username ("ep") so I had to re-register.

Which config file and what in the file do you need to change? I ask because on my site I run as the admin using a two letter name... so I can't submit anything on my forums... I need to make the same change you are going to make.

There are some misc config settings for the forum in the public/forum/include/config.php

Set $minUsernameLength = 1; - default is 2

Question... if the value is defaulted that "2" is the minimum username for posting - why do we have to set it to "1" to allow a 2 letter name to post? Is that just some weird web-logic I don't understand?
