Matt Brady	Monday 26 February 2007 5:59:27 pm I put a user into the system through a new user class that didn't work very well so I deleted it and tried to create as a std user, however when I try to do this I get the following error: -------------------------------------- The draft could not be stored. Required data is either missing or is invalid: * User account: The username already exists, please choose another one. -------------------------------------- Is there a way to totally remove the username record so that I can set this up again? I require the use of the actual username I have already created. ezPublish 3.8.3 on Unix It's not easy being easy.
Bruce Morrison	Monday 26 February 2007 7:58:20 pm Hi Matt The most common cause of this issue is that the original user still exists in the trash. Try empting the trash and trying again.
