If you put spaces after your name when you created your account, you can not log into the forums unless you put the exact same amount of spaces after your name. For example: My forums account has two spaces after it and I have to put the spaces when logging in or it denies me.

I can see your point about having to make sure that you have correct number of spaces could be rather irritating but I'm sure it is the way it is supposed to be.
Let's say your username was "Dirt " (space as a suffix) and someone else's username was just "Dirt". If they were to make it so that it ignores the spaces after the username, which one would it get? How would it know that the space is necessary or not and who is logging in? Is it "Dirt" that's logging in or "Dirt "?
So, because of that, it requires users to have exact matching characters so that it can find a user with that exact login info that was provided.
