Great Hack, Worked good on 6.04c

I got this to work on my UBB, version 6.04f, so I think it works on all of the 6.xx so far. And nice hack!! I've been looking for something like this so I don't have to edit the Profile on ultimatebb.cgi, and this was easy!!

Wow didnt even notice that well got it to work

=| I'm using this on my board, whenever I change a Publicly Displayed Name in the CP it changes the Log-in name instead, this a bug?

Nice, but why? don't think your members will be very happy when you change their name...
