[you] Replacement · **Released**: 01-29-2008

Here it is! The [you] hack ported over to vB 3.7 beta 4.

I have ported this over to vBulletin 3.7 beta 4, but it should work on all 3.7 versions. It now works board-wide (posts and thread titles), in the archive, and also in the quick post in the profile. If there are any areas you find that this doesn't work in, let me know and I will add the code for that area.

Thanks goes out to KirbyDE for making the first version for 3.5 possible. Without him, I'd STILL be trying to figure out the best way to do this for vB 3.5. Thanks, buddy!

Description:
This will replace the [you] variable (board-wide) with the viewing user's username.

Installation:
1 product xml
(No file edits)

Upload the product xml and you're all set!

Enjoy!

NOTE: If you do not click install, you do not need support.

Thanks again Boofo:up:

I already have that

, everyone's using it, so I disabled it.

They saw the code in the RSS.

Is it possible to limit the use to a certain usergroup?

How do you hide the code from the vB Code list?

Does anyone use this for personalized greetings (welcome posts, etc) or standard e-mail responses?

In other words, is it being used for something other than for jokes?

(I'll be using it for jokes as well, but want to use it to my advantage for the good of the forum)

I'd like to use this in a PM that can be sent automatically to any new members. How would I do that?

Boofo · #77 04-13-2008, 01:49 PM

I use it for welcome posts all the time. Makes them more personalized.

Actually, that is the main reason I wrote this hack. It just started getting used as a jokes hack somewhere along the line.

I use it for a photo voting contest: "[you], have you voted yet?" The number of votes almost doubled in the past week.

Boofo · #79 04-13-2008, 10:56 PM

That is a smart idea. Using it like that doesn't bring a lot of attention to it so it doesn't get overused by everyone. That is basically what is was designed for.

This doesn't work if you press the preview button before posting. Your post ends up with the [tag] being changed for your name, then you press post and it looks like it's working but everyone else sees your name not theirs.

I will look into it.
