Account bug
You have 'email' twice is the accounts causing problems with accounts. It should be user name i think but shows email instead. When i try and close the account page it wont let me as its asking for email there when it is already there further down. I have email login set in advanced settings but surely this is not right having to enter email twice? Every time i make a solution to a problem it creates another problem as i need email logins on now cos so many have forgotten their usernames. Currently the account system is very messy.
What of users personal details for all to see? Or edited to show just the labels?
So currently my name is there how it was before turning on email login. It used to say username there, and that username is still there. I cannot save the account page cos it brings me back to what used to be username and asks for email again. That is super confusing for users. It should still stay as username?
I see, it is because your username is also the email.
I will send you updates.
Thats much better thanks mate. Will everyones account be ok as they are though? Obviously if they go into their account it will prompt them to fix the email yea?
I just spotted something on video owner showing email instead of name in video panel
Its not changed everyones only mine since i entered my email in what was the username box.
also before i could either enter name or email address now it is only accepting email and not name. lol
Yes, if you select it must be an email you need to make sure it is an email
i have Do NOT identify user by Username (selected) Do NOT identify user by Email (selected) Do NOT identify user by Name (unselected)
But it still shows email as video owner on upload
On your front page, I can see this is showing correct.
I do not see any problem with showing the email or username in the videos manager.
only the video owner or admin can see it.
The video owner is not their name now it is their email instead you can see here
If you select the username must be an email the username and the email will be the same.
also there is no problem to show the email or username there.
Once your users update their usernames, they will also show the email
But how would i know who these people are in the video panel? LOL i cant identify them by their emails
seems a ridiculous amount to work to look them up in the user database to see who they are.
Their must be a much easier way of simplifying the whole account system seems overly complicated for users
I disagree that is too much work, you can search not in the database, but in the users manager.
but anyway. the owner is now clickable, and you will go to his channel
also there is no username anymore, since you force everyone to use their email

Native login, isn't this just a simple flag to validate (login) by username or email address? Username should never disappear just because you configure AVideo to login by email. Are you replacing username with email in database under such a configuration?

Correct!
That is a terrible design and eliminates option of returning back to username as login validation. Why in the world would you overwrite username with duplicate data (email) when a simple flag establishes login preference and logic handles the rest?
The username is unique, the email is not mandatory to be unique. that is why I cannot use the email field
