Is there a way to disable this feature for certain usergroups? If i were to use this hack, i'd only want my paid members to be able to use it.

or

PHP Code:

    if ($bbuserinfo['usergroupid']==X or $bbuserinfo['usergroupid']==Y or $bbuserinfo['usergroupid']==Z) {print_no_permission(); exit;} 

X, Y, Z --> Usergroups ID that will not be able to use the function

It might be easier for peeps if you have a bit of code to allow groups .. instead of the other way about .. else there'll be an awful lot of "or"s .. heh

Excellent hack, not sure whether or not to install... Good to see you giving the support for this, the usergroup restrictions might well get me installing.

Add two more thing and this hack will become one of the mose used hacks ever:

1 - Admins/Moderators can see previous usernames
2 - Admins can setup in admincp a time limit after user can change the username again (for example, user can be able to change it at each x days, or something like that).
