Just curious how to request a feature for the next update ?
I know on my old Telegard BBS back in the day, during the registration it would ask if the case was correct on your last name, for example McBride vs Mcbride, and you would choose the case you wanted from a list. Would be cool to have that feature added.

you could easily make that with a small script.

A new user event (running a few lines of JavaScript) could do that pretty easily. e.g.

if(!confirm("Capitalization of last name (" + user.name + ") correct"))
user.name = console.getstr(K_EDIT, user.name, LEN_NAME);

.... something like that anyway
