Okay this is not very major but sometimes i type in a long name and it says no such username

I think that it should work like google when you type something that does not have many results ,or in funkypool's case none at all, a couple suggestion of names should be asked that are close to the typed in name

like this, i would type in cloneman and it says no such however underneath it it says

Did you mean: clooneman

Thoughts please


This could prove to be very useful in the long run.

But my thoughts are how many people actually get the username wrong... And even when they do get it wrong they can re-check the game window or re-check the name they were typing in for spelling mistakes, and then it can easily be changed to the right spelling

Well, you have a point, however do you remember a player called something like this:

sldfskafs, I cant type that in, but if I was nearly right then it will come up and I can think, oh yes it was that.

i like this idea....try and spell zantetsukenz right the first time.

i also suggested a while ago a link on the sidebar saying online, showing other players who is online!!

Yeh good idea.

Or you could have a option to turn it on and of .. i.e

in the options section or the edit profile there could be a section saying

Auto Name:

On - Off

or something like that.

So then in lets people who want it to have it and people who dont want it to not have it

To be honest, I really love this idea, I dont think this will happen though.

But good luck to it!

I assume most prediction systems work on an already installed set of words/names, so would this system account for new names being created on a daily basis?

I guess it could update itself as members join, but the options given on so many similer names might come into play. For example how many names begin with the word pool etc.

EDIT: Best to cap this one http://www.funkypool.com/viewTopic.do?topicid=15661
