Have you tried searching for?

<if condition="can_moderate()">

You may have another plugin that's wrapped in there somewhere.

Works with 3.8.7 !!

[Tyran1]

The Old Username is not free !!!! Help!!

[edrecovery]

would someone be willing to do the templet edits/changes for me? I'm not good at doing that, and I do not want to mess up my 3.8.7 board. PM me, and I'll give you a temp admin account.

[edrecovery]

I have it installed, but there's no fields to change the username. it only gives me change user name and comform username change, but I'm not able to type in it.
