Note: This hack will only work on PHP 4.0.5 and higher. Sorry for all the others (anyone still using these old versions?!).
Anyhow, this is a great little hack, and most importantly very very fun for the masses.
It gives your users the ability to use {bbusername} in their post, and it will mysteriously be changed into the viewer's username when he reads the page.
Demo:
FireFly <!-- auto name hack -->
You can detect this hack is in action by viewing the HTML source of the page. You will see <!-- auto name hack --> next to the name in the source.
This hack also contains a small optimization to vBulletin, which removes a lot of calls to str_replace() and replaces that with only one (which is why this hack only works with PHP 4.0.5 and up).
Have fun, I know you will.

Could be that the $fullpm was removed in version 2.2.2, because we are still running version 2.2.1 and that's where I test my hacks as well.
Its possible, but I?m really not sure. I upgraded my forums to 2.2.2 via PPN?s hack he posted here, but don?t remember if that was a step.
Goes to check
Nope, I don?t see it in his update file as a change. Oddness.
Well, I can only guess, but maybe it's part of a hack (if it exists) that adds a "Your inbox is full" popup to pages, like "You have a new message". Or maybe that's already a feature... god I can't remember.
It's possible to limit this hack to admins, yes.
Replace this:
Code:
$replacewords=array(0 => "$bbuserinfo[username]<!-- auto name hack -->");
with this:
Code:
$replacewords=array(0 => iif($bbuserinfo['usergroupid']==6,"$bbuserinfo[username]<!-- auto name hack -->",'{bbusername}'));
Very cute hack Firefly. It'll be great fun trying it out.

You don't need the hack to do that, though. Just use $username in the templates.
I have been holding off unleashing it on my forums cuz i want to think of something really good to get them with! I know 1 or 2 people posted what they did, anyone else actually implement this on their site yet and feel like sharing?
The effect is rather spoilt by the <--! AUTO NAME HACK --> thing, so I removed that from the version I installed. The funniest bit is page 2, where two users both quote and reply to the text, saying how kind it is of me... !
