[support] Changing 'Username' to 'UserID'

[Larry Garfield]

The cleanest way to do that currently is to use the translation system. Enable 
the locale module in core.  Define a new language that is a "custom English", 
visit the pages you want to translate to build up the cache, and enter 
translations from "User name" to "User ID".  It's kinda weird, but it 
works. :-)

That said, I'm not sure why you'd need to in that case.
