Nice hack, I think this definitly might be something I use soon.

Great idea, however I think there needs to be some more restriction to allowing users changing their username, i.e Certain amount of posts or reputation. If not, then I would great a log feature to see who changed their username to what and when.

can you put in an approval via admin cp option?

What would be good, as lots of people have mentioned... is a history of old usernames. Will this be added at some point?

Nice hack, but what would happen if a user accidently hit the STOP button in the middle of changeing?

i'd really like to use this, but only if there was an option to only enable users to change their usernames once every x amount of days, ie. once changed, users would have to wait say, 90 days to change their username again.

This would make an excellent addition to this hack :) Otherwise thank you for the hack.

THANK YOU!
