XF 1.4 Duplicate entry for key username

[AtemusVdq]

Hello there,

I know the following error appears when someone is trying to register with a name that already exists inside of the database:

Mysqli statement execute error : Duplicate entry 'xxx' for key 'username'

When the end user uses the top right login/signup it tells him when the name he tries to register is already taken, however if he registers using the direct link www.domain.com/register and tries to use the same registered name, he doesn't get any warning about duplicate usernames until he submits the registration and he ends up with a "A server error occurred. Please try again later." instead with the normal message posted below.

Any idea how could i set so the "
Please correct the following errors:

1. User names must be unique. The specified user name is already in use.

"
message to bewhen he is using the direct registration link too?

Thanks

The only time that error should happen is due to a race condition, which generally involves multiple attempts to register the same name simultaneously. If you get that all the time with a direct link, then I have to guess that there's something else interfering (and add-on).
