$bbuserinfo[useranme] in posts

[Sparks Kelly261]

Hi,
Is it possible to make a plugin that looks for the $bbuserinfo variables in plain text or html in a post and changes it to its correct value?
I have searched the forums, but haven't found anything like it.

For example:
I want to be able to make a post that says something like.
--
Hello $bbuserinfo[username]!
Welcome to etc....
---
And it would look like this after submitting the post/thread, assuming the person viewing the threads name is John Doe.
--
Hello Jon Doe!
Welcome to etc...
--

Anyone know how to do this?
