A member registered a second time because they forgot their old password. I tried updating the old account with the new email and received this message below.

Yes sir, it is set to true. I do not wish to have multiple members with the same email. Out of curiosity I tried updating a members profile with what I knew would be a duplicate email assuming a YAF dialog box would display instead of "Server Error in '/' Application."

<add name="AspNetSqlMembershipProvider" applicationName="DotNetNuke" connectionStringName="yafnet" enablePasswordReset="true" enablePasswordRetrieval="false" maxInvalidPasswordAttempts="5" minRequiredNonalphanumericCharacters="0" minRequiredPasswordLength="5" passwordAttemptWindow="15" passwordFormat="Hashed" requiresQuestionAndAnswer="false" requiresUniqueEmail="true" type="System.Web.Security.SqlMembershipProvider" />

I'm no longer using DotNetNuke, but I'm not sure how to get it working without that applicationName value set as such and it's not hurting anything, well, to my knowledge, lol.

Really the duplcate email thing has been an issue for several versions.

It should be as easy to implement a check for this:

1. checking the config to see if duplicate emails are allowed (and really, duplicate emails should never be allowed in a registration system).
2. running a SELECT statement to check for the email address exists. Additionally, check the 'awaiting confirmation' table as well.
3. if the recordset returns anything more than 0 records, the system should catch the exception and throw an alert.

I'm sure it's more complicated than that or it would have been fixed already, but still -- and it's understandable if nothing has been done with it because it's a host/admin error only.

Haven't had this issue - but when I update an existing user email directly in the db, I do like this:

1 - Update the "Email" field in the yaf_User table...

2 - Update the "Email" and "EmailLwd" fields in the yaf_prov_membership table...

I always use lower-case in the email addresses in all fields.

Since the user profile dialog email update did not work so well in 1.9.x.x, I've done this many many times...
Don't know if it's fixed in 2.x since I haven't had any requests from users to change their email.

Same goes for changing a user name, update both tables.

If you get errors, you most likely have duplicate emails in the db and that is as designed with unique primary keys, since you should
not have 2 users with the same email address...

I am not running DNN, so maybe my comments are not valid at all in this particular case...
