I just had a brain-wave!

Why dont you try and modify that hack that tracks aliases, except make it track Display names!:)

There is a hack in the Full Releases forum which tracks how many times a user changes their username - It is called the "Alias Hack"...

It then displays in their profile all their previous aliases (usernames)...

Perhaps you could modify it to track their Display Names?

The converter will only bring over the members login names and use them everywhere the display names where on ubb. You sould search the full release forums. There is a hack that will allow members to change their user names. The store hack will allow them to do this for a small fee (the store hack comes with a money system).

Hi,
I'm thinking of upgrading to VB and importing a forum from UBB Classic. As you may know UBB Classic allows users to have separate login and display names. This is kind of useful because login names can be easier to remember and you can save special chars etc just for your displayed name.

Is there a hack for VB to allow these two different names? Otherwise my import won't be much good because people will end up having their login names displayed on posts that used to have their display names on them, could be confusing.

Thanks,

Display name isn't so important as you can still track users by their unique user id.
