I've been using the email-registration module for sometime so users don't have to remember their user name and just use their email address to login. Now I thought I'd use this module to instigate some rules on how their user name is set.

email_registration auto-sets the user name to the pre_@ part of the email address used upon registration...regardless of what the registrant puts in the user name field upon registration.

It is still following this behaviour after installing this auto_username module so I am guessing email_registration hung on to it's power. There are no admin options for the email_registration module.

Any idea if this is true? Is there a fix?

I have never used the email_registration module, so I have no idea. My knee-jerk guess is that since E comes after A, auto_username is doing its thing and then email_registration is overwriting it.

Having multiple modules that modify the username enabled at the same time is rather guaranteed to break something. Since auto_username can't really turn off, I'm refiling this over to email_registration to see if the maintainer wants an option to turn off the auto-username-setting.
