The thread is designed to be a log of all name changes, regardless of which admin changes a user's username. It doesn't create a new thread each time a username is changed.

Just wanted to check, will this work with other mods that offer the ability to the member to change their username?

Awesome idea Mark.

No, this product's main plugin is hooked at "useradmin_update_save" so it only generates a post when an admin changes a user's username in the "User Manager."

There would really be no way that I know of catch a name change facilitated by another product as this could be done many different ways.
