I have tons of stupid users who register with ID fb_3712538434 etc. just to participate in our contests.

We don't want our database filled with those IDs!

How can I remove this and make it empty so that they must fill a Username? I need a code change

Manos,
There's a setting in JFBConnect for "Auto Username Prefix". It sounds like you have that set to "fb_". I'd recommend changing that to another value, which is a variation of the user's actual name.

If that's not what you're looking for, let me know and we can help otherwise.

Thanks,
Alex

If the user's name is "John Smith", here's what the different options would look like:
first.last - john.smith
firlas - johsmi

The 2nd is what we use on this site because it doesn't directly show a user's 'real' name and creates unique usernames for people. It works well for most users, but it depends on your site.

If you have suggestions for other automatic generations of usernames you'd like to see, just let us know :)

Thanks,
Alex
