So doing that, if I'm right.. it means when I view all in my 'Forum' folder, I should also see a folder called ''dbtech'' in there too?
Then that's me sorted?
Thanks for replying to me.

[DragonByte Tech]

Correct

Ahh.. thanks a lot mister!
Where is it in settings?
Edits are made in settings and user group permissions?
I don't see where.
Maybe I need to delete the files I placed by mistake where I assumed they'd go?
Can you tell me anywhere they'd appear? Maybe post an image of their settings?

[TeknoSounds]

Most new AdminCP settings are near the bottom... go into settings, view all, then CTRL+F and do a find on Username Request, should take you right to those settings.

Usergroup settings show up near the top of the usergroup after editing it.

[DragonByte Tech]

This mod does not have any new AdminCP settings, it's all in the Usergroup Manager

3 8 6 compatible?

[DragonByte Tech]

Nope, there's already a similar mod out for vB 3.8 by Marco

Had a search I can't find such mod by 'Marco'

[Welshy2008]

This one works on vB3.8.6 PL2:

Although, I do believe the "Marco" and "Username change" that Fillip (DBTech) was referring to is this one here:

(Made for vB 3.5.X, but apparently works on vB3.8.X - I use the first one though, so I couldn't possibly say).

HTH.

Strongly DISagree.
