What is Username Change?
Username Change is Brought to you by the Designer of products such as RPG Inferno and Inferno vBShout and the programmer of RPG Integration v3.

Username Change from DragonByte Tech is a modification designed to allow users to change their usernames at will (within your configured limits, of course).

About Username Change
Your members will no longer bug you for username changes, you can let them change it whenever they want!

It also has a history feature in the member profile, showing a list of previous usernames. This history feature uses vBulletin's own Profile Change history - no additional tables needed!

* For security issues - vbulletin.org will contact all members who have installed a modification whenever a security issue is brought to their attention.

* Marking a modification as installed also helps us know how many people are using our work, giving us extra incentive to provide more features and new modifications.

The file cpnav_username_change.xml appears to have contents for some other unreleated mod. You may want to update the file to be empty.

No it won't, but it shouldn't be particularly difficult to backport, it to vb 3.8.x. I'd actually backported the username display portion at one point.

Not a coder here so yes, it wont be possible for me

We have no plans to do a vB 3.8 port at this time, sorry

You can do this by setting those rules for all usernames in the vBulletin Options. This mod will respect those rules.

Darn Vb 3.8.7 is being forgotten

There are children beginning to discover the internet that was born after vB 3.0.0 was first released

At this point in time, I see no reason to stick with vB3 unless the site is customised heavily with modifications that have no vB4 equivalent or were custom written (to the point where it would cost thousands to hire a competent coder to update them).

This is also reflected in the sales and usage figures we have available to us, the percentage of vB3 customers is dwindling. Knowing that, it's certainly hard to justify spending man-hours converting a FREE mod to vB3
