Summary0035810: Duplicate username shows full error page instead of inline warning
Description

When trying to register with a username that already exists, the application shows "APPLICATION ERROR 0000800" instead of a simple message like “username already taken.” This is not user-friendly and breaks the experience.

Steps To Reproduce

1.Go to registration form
2.Enter an existing username
3.Click register

Additional Information

Consider handling this with client-side or inline server-side validation.

TagsNo tags attached.

Implement proper input validation and exception handling to catch duplicate entries gracefully.

the application shows "APPLICATION ERROR 0000800" instead of a simple message like “username already taken.”

Just look at the actual message below the application error number, it reads

That username is already being used. Please go back and select another one.
