Description
Currently the username is only validated after it has been submitted, this is not very user friendly. Some client side validation while the user is typing would feel a lot less frustrating. If possible it should not only check for the regex, but also if the username is still available. Similarly if the full name is mandatory that should be visually obvious.

Research direction
Locate the registration form and its current post-submission username and full-name validation, then inspect how username availability can be checked. Done means validation occurs while typing, availability is indicated when possible, and a mandatory full name is visually obvious.
