Nexia's BBCODE [user] musername with profile link
 

Happily, this one is compatible with vBulletin 3.5 to 3.9...

What it does is simple... when you use the tag [user] to identify a certain member of the site, its real username with markup will appear. you can even use the option to change its name with this technique:

[user]1[/user] will generate the link like this

and if you want to have a custom text for the link, here we go:

[user=1]the master of this domain[/user]...

the funny part is that the link will always be generated with the username markup... that's the goal of this addon...

when you edit a post in wysiwyg, the tag is not parsed, so you can edit it.

here's a screenshot as the bbcode is not present on vb.org!:

you can see a live example here: http://vbenhancer.com/free-visual-el...ile-link/4837/

OH, as a note, you can use USERID and USERNAME for this, check: you can even ask [user]nexialys[/user] about this... !
