What is Username Change?
Username Change is Brought to you by the Designer of products such as RPG Inferno and Inferno vBShout and the programmer of RPG Integration v3.

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
Your members will no longer bug you for username changes, you can let them change it whenever they want!

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.

That is outside the scope of this modification, but we may make a separate modification with this feature

v1.1.0 has been released, which fixes all known bugs and implements a requested feature: It's now possible to limit the number of username changes on a per-usergroup basis!

The mod is also now considered out of Beta.

Works! Just a heads up though, when you set the days to 0 and the number of times they can change their username to 1, when the user goes to change their username they see "you may change your username as often as you want" instead of "You may only change your username once"

Can we set a list of usernames that can't be used by users who have access to this feature?

[DragonByte Tech]

Not yet, but it sounds like a good idea for a future design.

If you want to post it over at the main site so we don't forget about it (we probably won't be upgrading the username change mod for at least another week) theres more chance of it geting taken care of.

We'll try to get it added ASAP either way, as long as we remember haha!

Well, technically they can cause... um... ...yea okay, you got me there

Dunno if I can be bothered to fix it though, it's just a cosmetic issue xP
I'll sort it when I have some free time.

Not beyond vBulletin's ban word list / integrated vBulletin username history locking feature.
