[It's Damn Real!]

I must have hit an error. Apologies.

It's functioning perfectly after re-install.

<font face="Times New Roman">Our owner installed this early this morning, but I noticed it's not picking up all of the username changes from older staff members, such as me.

Is this normal?</font>

[DragonByte Tech]

If they were changed via a method that did not insert username history (vBulletin feature) in the past, or your usergroups don't have access to displaying the username history on your profiles, then yes it is.

They were changed via staff members' profiles in the Admin CP.

Are you sure all your usergroups have access to seeing the username history? Check it in usergroup manager.

I'm not an administrator anymore, but, yes, we do, because I can see my name changes, just not all of them:



Some I can think of include the following: Odd Della Robbia, Jeremy Belpois, Jeremie Belpois and more.

It's also happening to our owner:



Some I can think of for him include the following: The Shadows (sometime in November 2011), Suzuka x Yamato (sometime in December 2011), and more.

We've both had more username changes than that, and they've all been done the normal way.

Pretty nice

One of our sectional moderators sent me a PM and asked if this were possible:

Hi. Is there a way to hide "Username History" I'd appreciate it if I were..Unknown on here. Thanks.

If not, would it be possible to add the feature?

Thanks.

Are the "missing" username changes showing up in the member's Profile Change History in the AdminCP?

New features are best requested @ our forum, since they will get lost in the mists of time here on vBulletin.org

I'll have one of the admins check, thanks.
