Hi all

This is my first mod.

I thought the existing AJAX username check was very nice by telling someone if a username was already taken when they enter it.

However, I thought it would be even better if it also checked against your custom banned usernames as well.

So this is what I did (vldpersonals 2.5.3):

Edit, hp.checkusername.php in /includes/hp

add on line 80 (just after existing username check):
        //------------------------------------------------
    // Check if username is banned - MOD BY MS
    //------------------------------------------------
    $usernames = array_map('trim', explode("\n", $PREFS->conf['banned_usernames']));
    if ( in_array($username, $usernames) )
    {
        die("error\n".$LANG['register']['username_taken']);
    }

I have decided (for the moment) to show the same error message as if it was taken, but you may decide to make another message.

Enjoy!
