ok on my forum, i put in a table at the bottom under the users online and stuff with my admins, mmods, and mod names with the links to their profiles. i want to know how i can get it so that everytime they change their name, the name displayed in the table changes also..

now im just doing < a href='url'>Their name</a>

is it some sort of thing i can put for each name i add to that table that changes the name when they change it?

this is the link to my forum

You'd have to pull their names from the database.

SELECT realName
FROM prefix_members
WHERE ID_MEMBER IN (list of ids for the people you want)

How often do your members change their names?

You're going to need some knowledge of PHP do be able to do this.
