vB variables in AdminCP data entry boxes

[Billspaintball]

Im having a little trouble here
I have a product with a data entry box in the AdminCP.
In that box I enter

Thanks $vbulletin->userinfo[username]
Test text blah, blah blah...

When the template is called the output from that is

 Thanks $vbulletin->userinfo[username]
Test text blah, blah blah...

But I need it to be

Thanks Username
Test text blah, blah blah...

so, what do I enter into the adminCP data entry box in place of $vbulletin->userinfo[username] that will result in the template outputting the correct username?

No one?

Super old post, but did you ever get this figured out? I'm wanting to do the same thing.

It depends on the template... some places $bbuserinfo[username] will work... Though I've never heard of entering the variable name into an options box before.
