Options needed -

Ability to have users change their username once. This option should not be in days.

Thanks! Tagged, installed and nominated.

Is it possible to specify which usergroups can change their usernames on their own?

[DragonByte Tech]

Yes, you can set different options per usergroup including who can change their own username, who can change other peoples, and how often they can change their username =)

This mod is designed for letting people change their usernames more often than once, though.
I'd recommend just setting the days option to an absurdly high number

I just installed this and went into my profile. It says I changed my username on 2/14, but I didn't... is there a way to reset the last time someone changed their name?

[DragonByte Tech]

No, because it uses vBulletin's integrated Profile Change history.
If you go into your AdminCP -> Search for Users -> your own username -> [Profile History], you will see that the 2/14 corresponds to the last time you made a change to your own username

Cool Install

[GrossKopf]

I can see how this would conflict with the Point Market mod. With that mod, you can add colors to your username, make it bold, etc, which effectively "changes" your username.

[DragonByte Tech]

Nah, those things don't edit your username in this way. That mod just extends the "markup username" (you know, the HTML Markup option you have in Usergroup Manager?).
