Username Change from DragonByte Tech is a modification designed to allow users to change their usernames at will (within your configured limits, of course).

About Username Change

It also has a history feature in the member profile, showing a list of previous usernames. This history feature uses vBulletin's own Profile Change history - no additional tables needed!

* For security issues - vbulletin.org will contact all members who have installed a modification whenever a security issue is brought to their attention.

* Marking a modification as installed also helps us know how many people are using our work, giving us extra incentive to provide more features and new modifications.

Just to be clear, this is a default vBulletin feature and not something UNC introduced

Hello Fillip,

Problem is, our Reuse Delay is set to 0 (which means that it's disabled, according to the vB manual).

Username Change v1.2.0:
Feature: "Revert to previous username" feature added, allowing users to revert to their previous username (assuming it's still available) at any time so long as they have not reached the maximum number of username changes allowed. This feature ignores (but resets) the "time between username changes".
Change: Added standard DBTech copyright / branding footers

Hi DragonByte, there is just a small problem with your copyright notice in v1.2.0. It says:

News Discussion Threads by Username Change - vBulletin Mods & Addons Copyright ? 2012 DragonByte Technologies Ltd.

I am guessing the 'News Discussion Threads by' should not be there or I could be wrong but I would be wondering what that means. Could you tell us how to fix this please if it is not suppose to be there?

Great hack by the way and worth buying branding free eventually.

Thank you.

[DragonByte Tech]

Zip updated with correct branding info, thanks

Hi, This is a very helpful mod which removes the manual user name change by admin. But I have one concern here. During registration i have a regular expression set thru Admin CP which filters some characters from from user name. I would like to have the same here so that the users dont use those characters again while changing userid. Could anyone help me with the change OR can we get an updated mod ?

[DragonByte Tech]

That's already included and is working perfectly
