I have been looking for this exact thing....

THANKS! I like to keep it personal on my forum... Like I am actually talking to the user themself. This is perfect!

[Tyegurl]

one request....can you get it to work with vbshout or is that impossible?

[Saskia]

Great hack. I've replaced the 'username' field with my 'real name' userfield, so it displays the user's real name instead of their username.

I'm testing it out a little now. Thanks for great hack!

*clicks install*

EDIT: It works great. I've added the userfield conditional to the plugin, so that if a member has no 'real name' listed in the respective userfield, it displays the 'username', so you'll never get a blank.

too bad that when the [you] is quoted that the readers see the person's name that did the quoting...

i have the product by Hambil installed on 3.6.0 beta 3 and so far it works in threads titles but haven't really tried it anywhere else.

actually, I''m seeing the exact opposite. when you are quoting someone, it shows the actual [ you ] code, but once they post it, it works just like it does normally, even in the quoted text..

We had an absolute blast with this on my board - I didn't tell anyone about it, just put it into effect. It took the first person 40+ posts to get it, and the last person to get it was after post #170 or so - my fiance thought I turned the whole board against her, it almost wrecked our relationship. Flippin awesome!!!! I can't say Ive had this much fun with anything since I discovered vaseline at age..errr... sorry bout that, nevermind.
