Q: Does this add-on work with all third party username change add-ons?
A: Yes. Protected deleted usernames will be denied to be changed to them to.
Q: A user had his account deleted and now wants to recreate it with the same username. How can I handle this?
A: This can be done in 2 ways. First you can always register new users with protected usernames as admin in your XenForo ACP. Second, if you like to allow him to register himself via the regular registration form, you need to manually work with your XenForo database to accomplish it. First you can check if the deleted username really belonged to him if you ask him for his email address and compare it with the email address shown beside the deleted username in the database table of our add-on. If so, you simple can delete the protected username from the database table of this add-on to allow a new registration with it immediatelly. There will be a search and delete feature in one of the next versions of this add-on.
Q: I want no deleted usernames to be registered again ever. How can I do this?
A: No problem, just set "Retention Days" in the options of this add-on in your XenForo ACP to "0".
Q: I want all deleted usernames to be available for registration again. How can I do this?
A: No problem, there is an option for that ("Refresh Database").
