[Crrrazzzy]

When trying to change username, I get the following error. I fill in password and both username fields.

Please complete the required field "Username".

Any ideas why?

[Kadence]

Am I correct in assuming that the following are the queries to allow allow users to view 10 changes, without manually editing each group in admincp?

UPDATE usergroup SET `mh_unm_permissions`='4' WHERE 1;
UPDATE usergroup SET `mh_unm_viewhistorylimit`='10' WHERE 1;
