What happened to the custom display names?

I'm sorry, that's a straw man. I don't agree with bobo's removing the feature, but you can't equate something like that with avatars or signatures. Virtually all vBulletin boards have customizable avs and sigs, so if I register at a new board, it's expected that I will understand it. Customizable names, however, are something else.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Yeah, that's true, that's why I said I don't agree with removing the feature. I was using it myself, so how could I say that I didn't like it?

Anyway, if you don't agree with the decision as you say...why did you vote against it?

I just liked the way that option was worded.

There's nowhere I can't reach.
