I don't know if that has been brought up but my users complain that if they change there names then try change it back to what it was before it comes back saying *this user name is already in use*

Might be that you have set in your admincp that names can't be reused for x amount of days.

thanks will check it out

Edit: just had a look cant see that option in usergroup settings if its not in there where do i change that

its ok i found it

Is it possible this plugin can have the ability to post a reply OR a new thread regarding the namechange in a specific section? We have a thread in a moderation section (single thread) where all replies are being made for username changes. This is so we can keep up with the changes and who has changed to what.

We don't currently have any plans to add any new features to this, but if we do, we will take it under consideration :)

*RESOLVED*
I didn't go far enough back to see this post. The heading is under:

Settings > Options > User Registration Options > Username Reuse Delay

I have disabled the reuse function and will have users test - if problem resolved, we're good. If problem persists, I'll be back! :)

Thanks for the great mod!

Erg! Help! :)

I've gone through most things myself, even went as far as uninstalling and reinstalling mod.

I installed the mod just before Christmas as our users wanted to change their names to 'Christmas' themed names, and it was getting troublesome for me to do all and sundry whilst also working full time so I installed this mod.

The initial changing of names worked without a hitch, however, since Christmas, the most users are unable to revert to their old usernames. Some are successful in reverting, but 95% get this error:
My current settings for the mod are set for:
Yes
No
Yes
Yes
0
5
0

Can you shed any light on this problem for me please?

Using vB4.1.0PL2

Somewhere in vBulletin Options is Username Reuse Delay, by default is set to a high number. Setting that to 0 will take care of your problem :)

Oops, cross posted, I've just edited my original post to reflect that option.

Apologies for bringing you here to answer a question you already answered! :(

No worries :)
