Any chance of having the option to let users reuse usernames after a specified time? For example, a user wanting to switch back to their old name.

Currently they'll get this error when trying to do so, "That username is already in use or does not meet the administrator's standards. If you are ______ and you have forgotten your password, click here." even though there is no current user with that name and it doesn't hit any restrictions.

There's a vBulletin Option that locks usernames for 90 days by default when it's been changed. I'm not sure under which heading it is, search for "re-use delay" or something like that.

Ah, its under User Registration Options as "Username Reuse Delay".

According to the help for the option the default is 365 days, I have it set at 180, so the user just needs to wait a few more days

Perhaps I'm just missing it but you can tell me where I can find the settings for this in the AdminCP???

Used this on a v4 board and is great

But do you have plans for 3.8 ? i know its going backwards but thought i would ask, cheers

[DragonByte Tech]

Not currently, no - there's already other username change mods that work on 3.8. It could always change, though
