Complete DigimonPet redesign

Nice explanation.  Btw, make sure the passwords are encrypted.  If not, I would suggest to use md5().  It's a very simple and very efficient method of making passwords more secure.

No offense, but your top sites login sucks.  The username is case sensitive, so if your username is something like this -- AbySsAlLOrd -- (mine isnt really like that), you have to remember all of the caps.  If you are using php, try the strtoupper() function.  Secondly, it seems your site cannot hold a session, which in reality, makes the login useless in the first place because every time you go to a new page, you're logged out.  You really need to work that out...

what how is this a bad thing
stop using retarded nicknames, case sensitivity is a good thing imho and it's too much of a minor issue in usernames for one to even consider the issue

just implement case-sensitive usernames, no reason not to

I checked out the passwords and they are encrypted. Sadly my PHP looks nothing like your example, Nphyx, if you look at the bottom of my topsites page you'll see what php service it runs with.

I will keep the case-sensitivity, serrated is right no-one would ever have a username like that unless they were spam.

The reason case sensitive usernames is bad is an issue of user identity.  If the system considers Nphyx, nphyx, nPHyX, NphyX and npHyx as different people, you can see where a lot of confusion can arise, especially when some asshat gets it in his head to do some trolling under, say, an administrator or popular community member's name.  You can't really take these kinds of things back once they happen, so it's best to just prevent them in the first place; it's a matter of good community management.

Yeah...very good point Nphyx. 

@all - I usually tend to look at thinks from a user point of view, and a lot of people do actually like to use idiotic names like AbySsAlLOrd.  It's just the way people are.  If I was a user and had trouble with the login because the username is case sensative, I would leave your site because I'd feel it to be a waste of my time to struggle figuring it out.

Anyway, your login seems to have a lot of problems.  Honestly, I'd suggest redoing the whole thing entirely.  Make sure you create a session or store a cookie to KEEP THE USER LOGGED IN, and fix the case-sensitive problem.
