thread create & visitor username

[Brett Peters]

I am currently looking at changing the create thread visitor username so that it does not require a unique name, Basically I just want to allow multiple guest users to be able to use the same name.

If anyone can either post an example or let me know what file needs to be edited, I would be very grateful

That check is made in this file:

library/XenForo/DataWriter/User.php

Search for "usernames_must_be_unique".

They should already be able to do that. But they aren't allowed to use any usernames that have already been registered, for obvious reasons.

I shall look into that a bit more just incase I tested it with a registered member instead of a existing guest name.
