As it says on the tin, I think it'd be useful to allow us to see the user's username and current alias in their profile. I got a PM from some guy the other day saying "how'd you like my new username?" and it took me a few confused minutes to work out who he actually was (someone I've conversed with in PMs previously). Some people like to make a big hoo-ha about their new nick, whereas others are more discreet in the matter. It'd be useful to be able for us to track these changes, if only to at least know who we're dealing with. Naturally, I doubt that the more nefarious characters would be allowed to change to avoid some less than desirable situation, but still I'd like to know who's who. My nick is an alias of my real username and in my own control panel I can see this information listed. Would it be possible to extend this feature for us to see who other people's aliases are? -Oli

Err..user aliases? When was this added?
And I don't see anything in the control panel.

AFAIK it's been there from the start. Instead of changing a sign-in name it seems as if they have an alias which is displayed instead. My signin name is 'downgraded' for example, I changed to evolutional some months ago by putting a request in to the staff. Several others on the boards have it too (wannabe1337 is now Ainokea for example), by the looks you can only see your own alias in your profile (if you have one) and you certainly can't alter it (a good thing).
