I'm not sure if this can be fixed

It can be fixed quite easily by editing the dbtech_username_change_editusername template and moving the last </div> tag from the bottom to the top. See attached screenshot. You're welcome.

Thanks for that. I was just about to ask if there was a fix for that since I just installed and noticed the styling issue.

Thank you!

I am looking forward to some peace and quiet, none of the PMs asking me to change a name. I wish I had never started that...

This is interesting. I think I will add it to my forum. It will save me some time with the request to change usernames.

Thank you

Awesome plugin! Any possible way that with each name change.. the forum can create a thread about it? Like the reported threads being made on a specific section of the forums? This way it's easier to check out all the changed nicknames.
