New Posting Features - Personalized/Gag Threads, Posts, and Signatures (Beta 1)

Personalized/Gag Threads, Posts, and Signatures
As requested in this thread

Demo here (Must register or login with test/test)
(Note: Please don't change the test account. It's annoying.)

What this addon does:

This addon allows your users to use replacement variables in their posts and signatures which will substitute the viewer's information for the variable, in order to make the viewer of the post think that it's addressed specifically to them.

For example, you are viewing a post/signature and your username is Joe.
If the post/signature (or the post title) contains the text {username}, it will be replaced with Joe, but only for the viewer.

The only problem I have run into is with unregistered members - their info will not display correctly, if at all. I'm not quite sure how to go about remedying this problem just yet. I'm open to suggestions.

This addon will operate on who's online, the navbar, search results, forum display, thread listing, profiles, and single posts. If you are using a third-party addon like vBAdvanced CMPS, the variables will not parse correctly in those addons. Provided that this addon is successful, I may release updated versions to include major products like vBAdvanced and Top X Stats.

I have provided an AdminCP vBulletin Options group to edit which variables can be parsed (see attachment).

Please note that this is only a test. In no way is this hack fully polished and completed.

Here are testing screenshots of the variables, and the result.






You may use this addon however you see fit. If you do decide to use it, you have permission to modify it in any way you see fit - just be sure to provide credit where it's due.

If you have any suggestions, questions, comments, etc, please post them here.

Is there any way to get this to work in a thread title?
Such as "Welcome {username} to the forum".
