Username Linked In Posts.
 

Is it possible to create a mod where when a members username is typed, once posted the username will be linked to their profile?

This would be soo much easier than hyperlinking every time.

Possible yes. But how do you picture this? Just type the members name, or do you want to use a BB-code for it?

Just when typed :)

vB.org has a "BB Code Implementation" of this.

[name]Dismounted[/name]
[name]Dismounted[/name]

Just when typed would be a performence killer i think. It would need to split each post up by words, then check for each word if it is maybe a membername (1 query for each word in the post). And it would not work with membernames that contain spaces or such.

Ah ok - didn't think of the performance aspect of this request. Where can I find the BB Code Implementation of this Dismounted?

You can use the standard buildin BB-Code "[ name]":

This:
"Hello [name]smooth-c[/name]"

Will result in:
Hello [name]smooth-c[/name]

Hmm actually this is not a default BB-code.

But you can easily create one with the following replacement text:
