Username in a cookie

[nevetS]

Inspecting my cookies I see that the userid is stored, but I want the username so that I can have "Welcome back <username>" on my html pages without having to query the database.

I tried putting a plugin together on login_verify_success to do vbsetcookie('username',$vbulletin->userinfo->['username'],true, true,true)

but that didn't work.

I also tried just $userinfo->['username']

without success.

I'm sure that the variable is around somewhere, but I can't figure out the name of it.
