    Default Changing Display Name

    This is probably a stupid question, but how would I go about changing my display name? Rather than Matigo, I'd rather see something like "Jason" or "I can has n00b".

    Well ... maybe not that last one ...

    Looks like you can't change it, but I've done it for you.

    ありがとうございます!

    I wonder why vBulletin wouldn't allow something as simple as a display name to be user-driven ... perhaps to prevent possible mis-use of the functionality?

    Either way, thanks for fixing me up.

    vBulletin has literally thousands of options, but is incapable of some of the most basic, essential tasks...

    DarkReaper: Ah, so users can't change their own username?

    Customer Support Manager: Nope

    vBulletin 4.0 should be released soon, but it looks more like a rewrite of existing code than an upgrade with new features.
