Cannot create accounts

[markjd84]

Under "Account Management > Create Account" it is impossible to select a new username that is accepted as valid. Looking at the code in Admin.checkUsername() I suspect the responses are the wrong way round: it currently says

 if (!exists)
    badRequest();

but I suspect it should be if(exists). For example, any random string fhghf is reported as already taken.

I don't think I have commit rights, and have not seen any updates on this issue. I have the same problem, and it is becoming quite urgent/critical for me. Is there a chance, Mark, that you can make the change and commit please? Or is there a specific workflow. If so, and you let me know, I'll try and get the ball rolling on my side and get this done.

Thanks!
Johan

I've been able to fix this locally, and it seems to work. With permission I can commit the (really minor) change - I just don't know if there might be, given the overall design, unintended consequences.

Sorry, I don't have commit rights either - I've been using a local change! Cheers.
