> Good question. I've no idea at the moment. The problem I see is, that the update script, started by the forum admin/operator, could run into this error but any forum user can use a doublette of an e-mail-address. The update would fail and the cause could only get solved by the doublette-using user. O.k., also the forum admin/operator could solve such problems, but I'm not convinced that it would be a good idea to enforce the forum admin/operator to edit one or more user profiles. Especially when it comes to changing the e-mail-address that is a basic necessity for handling of notifications and user data changes (password, e-mail-address (this is, where it begins to spinning round in circles)).

I don't know if such a contruct is nescessary with the mysql[b]i[/b]-functions. I know it was necessary with the old MySQl-function-library.
