    Changing UserNames?

    In 3.6 is there an option so users can change their own user names?

    There is no such option in vB and never has been. This requires modifying the code. We cannot officially support code modifications or forums running modified code, however you can try searching or asking for help with this over at www.vbulletin.org.

    Please do not email or PM me for vBulletin support. I will be more than glad to answer your questions on the vB Forums and in the support system.

    Just remember that what happens in localhost, stays in localhost.

    Allowing users to change their own usernames makes it easier for spammers and troublemakers to stay on your forum.

    Something like that should probably be up to the administrator of the forum. Not sure that most people would have a problem with their users being able to change their name.
