There is a hack that does that somewhere....I did have it running once, but I cannot remember what it is called.

--------------- Added [DATE]1234138325[/DATE] at [TIME]1234138325[/TIME] ---------------

Hmmm....this is how my site used to do it...

Create a plugin at global_complete with the following code:

$output = str_replace('[username]', $vbulletin->userinfo['username'], $output);

Now anywhere you type:

[username]

it will display the name of the person reading it.
