Sorry Alcar, but that's total bullshit. There is no "tool". I've used the Administration Control Panel in vBulletin before and it does all that for you. I stay true to my word, when I say that you are just making excuses because you are far to ****ing lazy.

Excuse me, Death. But you have no right whatsoever to tell me there is no tool to do what I mentioned. Here, I'll even attach a picture. It was in both vBulletin 2 and 3, so you honestly need to learn your vBulletin. I'd look into things better, before you decide to jump on me.

And don't make excuses about what forum type uses certain features. I've used forums that were scripted from scratch that had this feature - and if you're apparantly so amazing with PHP, why would you find it so hard to add?

As for the display name / login name thing. It doesn't come standard with vBulletin, and until Abe Babe mentioned that there was a hack to implement it, I was unaware vBulletin had such a hack. I'm not amazing at PHP, I'm just the resident guru.

The bottom line is this: We're fed up with all your bullshit excuses. You can gloss it over however you want, but it doesn't fool any of us. Especially those of us who have worked with vBulletin before. You can't predict how implementing this feature will turn out, because you haven't even tried it yet. What kind of moron would just say "no" to every good suggestion because they realise the slight possibility of it going wrong.

"We're"? I only hear you. But I'm sure you have hordes of members who also complain, but don't want to speak about it publicly, so you're being their 'leader'. I don't feed anyone bullshit, Death. It's you that the bullshit comes from. Worked with vBulletin before? Obviously not enough, because you didn't even know about the existance of the update usernames feature.
:
Who's to say any one of us will change our name every single day? There are only one or two of us who complain about our names, and even those few people have their hearts set on one certain name - I'm sure they'll stick with it once they get the chance to change it.

The bottom line is, that names changes are only awarded on a very rare basis. However, this custom title idea, where people with custom titles already, can change them at will, sounds like a great idea.
Alcar...
