The hack displays the username only if you have a username cookie. If you get a problem, try this (that's what i did): 1) Delete all cookies set by UBB 2) In preferences, check the 'store username/pass' box 3) Post a message. 4) Go to the first page of your forum.
I don't think midnight has anything to do with the problem.
