Is it logged in our system over at our forum? If not, that's your best bet to post it. I only implemented this change because it was quick and easy, that change is not so

I'm sure that this has been asked and answered, but does the MOD prevent a member from changing to a new username already in use by another member?

[DragonByte Tech]

Yeah it does - the same code that gets executed when you change someone's username in the AdminCP also get executed here, including the same restrictions.

In other words, if you have Username Re-Use Delay enabled, this mod will also reserve old usernames for X days (depending on the setting)

Cool. Thank you.

Where would I be seeing this ?

"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".

[DragonByte Tech]

That shows up in the "Edit Profile" part of the UserCP, underneath the "Registration Required Information - All fields are required." bits.

I don't see it, I just want to make sure I did the update correctly.

If you have Username Re-Use Delay enabled in the vBulletin Options, the option won't show up

Username change delay 0

Username reuse delay 0

I'm sure I screwed up something, somehow.
