Just Awesome, its what EVERYONE should have. This should be mandatory within Wordpress files anyways. http://prntscr.com/i2wziq

I’m using this plugin for a BuddyPress based site and it allows the username to be checked prior to sumbitting. This surely facilitates a better sign up process and user-experience. 5* – thank you for developing and sharing your plugin 🙂
