Thanks! Excellent mod.

Edit: Another question (sorry!) if a user doesn't want their name change history displayed, can there be an option in the UCP to not display the tab for just them?

[Palidino76]

Would be nice to have a way to be able to search through username changes on a large forum. People can simply change their name and never be found unless their userID is known which is a big downer.

[DragonByte Tech]

It's unlikely we'll be adding any new features to this mod in the foreseeable future, but we'll take them under consideration regardless

Is it possible to have the history on a block instead of a tab? Great mod, thanks!

[DragonByte Tech]

Not currently, no

Installed and working without issue on 4.1.10

Job well done

Hello,

We've been using the plugin for some time without a hitch, but recently one of our moderators ran into an issue when trying to change a username from the ModCP, when he received the following error message:

That username is already in use or does not meet the administrator's standards.

The thing is, the new username wasn't being used. What's more, not even an Admin could change it from the ModCP. But, if he logged into the AdminCP and used the default "Edit profile" option, the username change went without a hitch.

Any ideas as to what might cause this error message to pop-up in the first place?

[DragonByte Tech]

That will happen if the Username Re-use Delay setting is in effect. The AdminCP ignores this setting.

Just to be clear, this is a default vBulletin feature and not something UNC introduced
