Automatically bold mentions of regular user's names...

[Borgs8472]

When you're talking about other posters, it's common to refer to them as PersonX rather than an unbolded version, so as to avoid confusion over who and what is being talked to.

Might it be possible for a list of users (in my case, a list of regular users, based from the regular users usegroup I created) to have their names automatically bolded when mentioned in posts?

(possible even a link to their member profile, but that's optional)

So if someone were to submit:

wordforge.net is the coolest poster, don't you think?

it'd come out as:

wordforge.net is the coolest poster, don't you think?

I tried the automatic censorship options, thinking I could basically find and replace a manually entered list of user names with surrounding bold tags, but that's no use.

Anyhow, I'm no coder, but the simpler elements of this potential hack don't seem too tricky, what do people thing?
