[valaiVerified member]

About:
This add-on provides useful user functions and options. Provide your members with additional username, thread, and post functions.
Changing usernames has never been this easy!

Post Install requirements

After installing, run the content mention rebuild tool:
php cmd.php xf-rebuild:sv-mentions
or
AdminCP => Tools => Rebuild Caches => "Rebuild content mentions"
This is a slow process, but required to prevent erroneous duplicate alerts when a post with quotes/mentions is edited which was created before the add-on was installed.

• Custom User Upgrade Amounts. By setting the upgrade price to 0, you can allow the user to pay any price for the upgrade.
