18415,Misleading error message when registering a username that already exists,mintindeed,,"I tried to register a new account today and the username already existed.  Instead of getting that message with a red background, it just said ""required"" next to the field.  I had no idea what the problem was, on a lark I realized there may have been a user already with the name I was trying to register.  Indeed, that was the problem.

When I just tried again to get the exact error message (or lack of it), I would sometimes get ""Required"" and sometimes get ""Username already exists"" with a red background, I couldn't figure out the rhyme or reason.",defect (bug),closed,normal,,WordPress.org site,,normal,worksforme,,
