I use it to get people's attention - Hey, [you], you need to read this thread... viewing rates skyrocket

I have found a major problem with this... it works in usernames...

So now, I have a member (now banned) who's a mirror of whoever views their posts, profile, PMs, etc.

They also always display last on who's online, and just look weird. Seriously, he has the username of the viewer. I think you need to make the next version not parse usernames, and anyone using this needs to ban the [you] code in usernames...

First, you need to click install. Second, I have no idea what you just said. Please explain it further.

Just warning that someone found out you can use it in usernames and it'll parse as the viewers username. For example, if someone used it here, you'd see their name as Boofo, while everyone else would see their name as their own name.

Easy fix - just disallow [you] for usernames. >_>

Yes, exactly. Problem solved. Thank you, Koroku. ;)

I am trying to use it in SmnLikQuick v2.0 - Advanced Announcements Block mod, in order to welcome my members, but it doesn't seems to work and only shows 'Welcome, [you]!' (It does supports BB tags).

Any chance for a solution?

The [you] is not an actual bbcode tag. It is a replacement variable. 2 different things. Apparently, that hack uses a different hook than I have set for the replacements.

I see, thanks for the info. It's a shame, could be a great solution for me.

Talk to the author of that hack and see what they say.

nice product
it's good for new members :D
Thank you!

Installed, Thanks, nice mod

My only problem is vbseo shows "you" in the thread addy. Which I would guess is impossible to fix. Still fun though.

Lots of fun. + Great tool. Great Hack Boofo.

*Installed*

Thanks a lot I been looking for it for a while !!!!

*** installed **

Seek and ye shall find. Enjoy! ;)

I still dont understand what it does.

OK slap me with a wet kipper, please explain ... ?

Ozzy

Look at the description in the first post. ;)

Yep read the whole thread... perhaps as 2nd poster said it is something i have overlooked and never noticed, to the point i cant find it lol.

Bit like when a chicken takes a crap, it looks between its legs to check !

I cant find what it is about :(

At my forum my members love this (well one hates it:P)
its a great hack and has inspired a whole subforum for its useage

You can't find this? You're starting to scare me now. ;)

Amazing modification. Thanks.

Bugger it will just bloody install it, and see what its about.. pmsl.

Best way is to tread into others footsteps.

Need your help Bob, will post on other mod, erm...Thread Started By USer.

Ozzy

Installed, but utterly bewildered.

I have no idea what it does. If someone quotes me in a post, it always says my username anyway. As it is a Quote

Am i looking at this from the wrong angle?

Have you clicked the install button?

Apologies ( Installed )

Still bewildered lol

Dear Bewildered,

I don't know how else to explain to you what it does. Have you tried using the hack to see what it does?

Abby

The only thing I can think is that VBSEO doesnt allow it to display.

Or perhaps you must be in threaded mode.... still dont see what it does.

Can you do a screenie to demonstrate ( someone anyone plz )

VBSEO doesn't affect it whatsoever. There is no way to do a screen shot as all it does is replace the [you] with the username of whoever is viewing it at the time.

viewing?

now you have my inquisitivness aroused..

Viewing as in the person looking at it.

Sorry mate.

Reason I am replying to this constantly is your mods/hacks are superb. Hence I want to see what this one does.

If it does something, surely a screenpic is possible.

Perhaps, we have other products that conflict with this.. i really dont know.

Ozzy

this is my original hack from back in the v2 days. over the years I had added to it. one of the features I had added was to be able to limit it to specific forums via the forum manager.

Enable / Disable Features
Allow HTML
Allow BB Code
Allow [IMG] Code
Allow [YOU] Code

any plans on doing this for your 3.7 version?

also I had added the ability to use things like [YOU-EMAIL], [YOU-ID], & [YOU-IP]. I'd want to re-implement them but I was recently emailed by a user who pointed out that someone could post a scripted image to return the readers you code info. any suggestions on how I could avoid that? i certainly don't want someone lifting my users email address & ip.

thanks

This is based on that but uses plug-ins now and all new code. ;)

PM me when you have time and we will see what we can come up with. Some of your additions
sound good.

yeah, I'm looking at your code now. it's tiny. very simple. nice

looking at how to do what I want. added the forum option. just gotta make it work with your code. pretty sure i should be able to handle it with a if this script = showthread deal.

thanks

I don't have it working with the email notification yet. Haven't found the right hook to get it work there. PM me when you get the changes made as I would like to look at it, if possible.

tweaked it to check my foruminfo setting but I had to add

to your global_complete plugin. how bad is that? do you think it would effect anything negatively?

the way i have it setup not it does your output replacement if the script is showthread or forumdisplay & enable_youcode is on for that forum. I know you have it on all over the place but for me, I want to limit it down to just the 1 joke forum. having it on everywhere would cause complete chaos on my site. :)

Can you send me what you have when you are finished with it? I want to see how you did it. Did you figure out the email notification?

Is it possible to only allow this for some usegroups?

Thanks add on. Nice
