Thread: Wiki account problem
Hi. I signed up for a community account, and logging in with user "jon_jensen" at http://wwwmaster.postgresql.org/community/profile works fine. However, when I try to log into wiki.postgresql.org, it says user "Jon_jensen" doesn't exist. Is the wiki trying to capitalize the first letter of my username and thus failing? Can you help me with this so I can edit the wiki? Thanks, Jon

I can't sign up for another account with the same email address; could you change my username to jonjensen instead? Thanks, Jon
