Nice hack, I think this definitly might be something I use soon.

Great idea, however I think there needs to be some more restriction to allowing users changing their username, i.e Certain amount of posts or reputation. If not, then I would great a log feature to see who changed their username to what and when.

What would be good, as lots of people have mentioned... is a history of old usernames. Will this be added at some point?

Nice hack, but what would happen if a user accidently hit the STOP button in the middle of changeing?

[porouian]

i'd really like to use this, but only if there was an option to only enable users to change their usernames once every x amount of days, ie. once changed, users would have to wait say, 90 days to change their username again.

Could add a link to the function to update usernames in the update counters section of the admincp.

This hack is almost exactly what i am looking for. This is the one thing i would like to see which was touched on another way above. When a user changes their name would it be possible to move them to the awaiting moderation group so that the administrator would have to "approve" the change prior to it happening? selecting the "approve" button initiates the change, selecting the delete button cancels the change (does not delete the user), and ignore puts off the decision till later? I guess basically what i am looking for is a method of the administrator haveing to approve the name changes.

You say it man! Thats exactly the addition I wanna also see for this hack + a small history so that an admin can check which usernames the user had already.
