When I tried to log into this forum today...

 I tried to log in, the first two times said no such username, or something akin to that.  Then of course I was much more careful and punched it in twice more.  Same thing.  So I reapplied for a new account, then tried it one more time, just for the heck of it.  Of course, after I did that, then it worked.  All five times, it was the same username and password used.

Are you sure you didn't have capslock on or something of the sort?

[LemnisCate8]

Sorry about the delay, I forgot to suscribe to the thread!  Yes, I am sure the capslock was not on.  I had checked that.

Must have been a typo somewhere, the software will not give that error if the username does exist.

That's what I thought, that it was a very strange happenstance.  But what happened next is just as strange... I reapplied for the same username, and didn't get a rejection as I expected.  You know what I am saying?  If the name exists in your databank, shouldn't I have gotten a message telling me the name was taken?   But I suppose it doesn't really matter until it comes up again.  Judging by your response, it seems like an isolated incident.   

I have noticed  lately, that as my keyboard ages, occasionally it leaves a blank space where none was typed.  That this phenomenon happened multiple times consecutively, or why I could submit a re-application with the same username on it, is highly unlikely covered by an occasional extra space.  Not five times over. 

I wish I could tell you whether or not the re-application reply was ever sent, but I can't because I wasn't paying attention.

I'll have what ever LemnisCate8 is having...
