Going forward, it would be
AWESOME if they can just totally remove the "username" field on the registration page and just use the email address as the login name. It is
VERY confusing to the customers to have separate fields, email address and then username.
Additionally, this would also reduce 1 more un-necessary field that the customer have to fill out. The less they have to type, the more likely they will complete the transaction.
This is pretty much the stardards for all major ecommerce sites out there. Just take a look at sites such as overstock.com, newegg.com, smartbargains.com, buy.com and several more. I can not think of any good reason why there should be two separate fields, usernames and email address.
Here are all the people that feel the same way as I do. Thank you for letting me voicing my opinion.
