Hello again golashim,
Sorry for the delayed reply. To the point:
If you enable commenting on the source (vBulletin options -> General Settings -> Add Template Name in HTML Comments -> Yes) this comments each part of the source with each template it uses (i.e. forumhome, forumdisplay etc). Now, if we look for the part that displays the last posted user, we get this:
Code:
<phrase 1="member.php?$session[sessionurl]find=lastposter&f=$lastpostinfo[forumid]" 2="$lastpostinfo[lastposter]">$vbphrase[by_x]</phrase>
It displays the last poster using the variable:
PHP Code:
$lastpostinfo[lastposter]
which means we need to edit this to get it to display the mark-up username. I've not done this before so i'll look around and get back to you.
EDIT:
That method could work above (again I haven't tried it) but I've been looking at a modification that displays the mark-up usernames on forumdisplay and it looks like it manipulates ['postusername'] into posting the mark-up username instead. I will play around with this and get back to you.
