verification problems

I’m having trouble with new members signing up wirh my buddypress site.

First up, the username field won’t accept uppercase registration, is there a way to switch this annoying pest off..?

secondly, when completing the registration field users email addresses are not logging correctly and they are being left out in the cold.

Thirdly, after several attempts from 2 seperate accounts success with registering, but they then get a notification about a verification email being sent before they proceed to use the site..these emails did not arrive..?

I’m spooked because up until now installing everything else was a as smooth as a babies bum !

I’ve tried looking for a setting to switch off member verification but cannot find one anywhere.

I recently installed Register Plus Redux, but it failed to display the configured page anywhere? maybe this plugin is interfering with the sites default registry, perhaps, I don’t know

If anyone can take the time to test-drive my site before it goes live I’d be chuffed!

Thanks, Ken
