^ I suppose so people can change their username and you can keep track of who everybody is.

yeah, but there are addons to request or change usernames :p

As for keeping track? technically only admins would know, what the users unmasked name is..?

Thanks Sammage, this is me - Nightmare!

There was a Username History Mod that allowed Users to change their Username and it kept a History of the last x Usernames the user had, and had time limits etc built into it, but I'm not sure if it was updated to the latest vB version...

Just so you are aware, you will need to replace the "username" value with an unformatted version of the new username as well as the "musername" value, but to do that you will also need to change the location of where the plugin is activated ;)

The point of this isn't to mask your username with another username, it's meant to allow users to use custom formatting or images. For example, instead having AllenSam, I could have AllenSam and someone with the username Zero could use this image as their username:

Yeah, that's probably possible, but then people could abuse it and mask their name with stupid stuff and it would be hard to keep track of who everyone is, like everyone has been saying in previous posts.

this hack reminds me of vbplaza... with the username changes to image or different formats.

any updates to this??

I think this is what Zero Tolerance uses on his site only with the bb code color.. Nice hack.

So where do we put this? How do you add fonts etc..

You can use basic HTML to change the font and format.
