Ive taken the time to trawl through this thread and make a list of most of the requests mentioned as well as adding some of my own (probably the hardest ones lol)

This is what I see would truly make this mod great from what users have suggested:

Wow, you really have a liking to this mod. But thanks, I will actually mention what plans are.

Both of these have been planned since the beginning of development.

I need example systems and what most users want. I believe I asked for this a while ago.

Planned.

This is already completed before a request is sent using built in vBulletin functions. I don't know AJAX and can do only minimal JS coding, so AJAX checking will probably not come.

Probably the most requested feature, and will be added.

Well the limitations will most likely be group permissions, so setting them to 0 or -1 will probably turn off limitations, but the notifications and request reasons will most likely be added.

I am really bad at files, so the only back up for username change logs would be .xml.

Maybe show message "You currently have a request pending", then display an option to change or remove their current request. In other words stop a user requesting multiple changes instead displaying current request and options to remove or change the request. (I think this would be a great feature, but possibly hard to integrate)

This has been a planned feature for a while, and when I am closer to having a complete beta ready (I may not even do beta), I will explain how this is done.

As the history is essential for limitations (say Joey can have 5 changes in his entire membership), this will probably not be added. But I may add options to only show a certain amount of history in the ACP or modify the user table to add a count for total changes and total requests and such.

This is an interesting idea, and will be very easy to implement using 1.1.x and I may even allow different display options (like by status, username, or date).

On a side note, if you need any assistance in development, I would be more than happy to help you code some of the features.

Great work again, and good luck with the future releases!

I believe I will be good on development, but I thank you for the offer. Just by this post I can tell that you would be a very dedicated developer. As most of these were planned, I hope to have some features for any releases after 1.1.x!
