Perhaps you should offer to allow a user to log in with his old username and password, and if they are not in an active league, allow them to select a new team? You could then expire accounts if they are not used every, say, 6 months.

When I tried to sign up for the new beta, I was blocked from using ChrisL, most likely due to its use in the last Beta league. Do user names get freed up after a league ends? If not, the username situation is going to get ugly rapidly, especially when you go commercial and depend upon repeat customers...Perhaps you should offer to allow a user to log in with his old username and password, and if they are not in an active league, allow them to select a new team?

Chris, that's nearly how it is set up. If you log in to the beta site, then go to Sign Up, you can choose a new team. There should be a link that says "Click here to select a team..."

In that case, poerhaps adding a message to the rejectiopn screen that says, If this is you, please proceed to Sign In and select a new team" or something to that effect...--Chris

That's a great idea, and easy to add. For some reason, I hadn't thought of that. Thanks for the suggestion!Pages: 1
