I note the author is still browsing these forums on a regular basis though, so maybe there's hope. If they won't pick it up, maybe someone else will.

I would have to agree. I LOVED THIS APP! My users love changing their user names and I am not always around to do it for them

Please update! PLEASE!

P.S. The developer is a VB.org coordinator... lol

I would like this app could work in vBulletin 4.

Currently testing and modifying for 4.x

[khanhdom]

awesome can't wait for 4.X

[Wonksta]

Seems like if I set 365 days per change it doesn't restrict that usergroup it lets them change their username as many times as they want..
