This is awesome!
Just one question, does this update fix the issue where every time I click the Home tab, for some reason I'm logged out and I have to consistently log back in?
Are you still using https? If so, just swap to http and that will solve your problem.
Does searching for an user using their old username show the actual user with their actual name? Because ye kno, what we discussed in the past about name changes and name tracking.
Not sure, will test. You should be able to see old aliases on profile pages under a tab to that effect.
Loki, you should know better than to use alts like that. Lead by example!
EDIT: Wait, so do name changes prior to this update count towards the limit? Also, I do believe that one can change their names back to a previous one with this plug-in, as it has worked like so on other sites. Maybe this could be tested.
Have to have member accounts on which to test things - bugs, features, permissions, etc. - like yesterday. . That's all they are used for.
We are not supporting a "revolving door" for names at this time. Such is far too confusing in a community of this size, plus all names are moderated - the feature you refer to is possible, but only via timegates and unmoderated changes. We will not be moving to unmoderated name changes on a forum of this size. So the short answer would be: No, not at this time and not planned to support swapping names back and forth.
Only name changes done under this system count towards your 10. Changes I've done via the admin panel do not count.
