Is there a code that can link usernames in posts? I know it works w/ the staff & my username, but with the members it doesn't.

So you mean using a BBCode like [username=Cory] will create Cory?

Yes. I got my username to work with the BBcode MEwarner but for some reason I can't get the actual members linked like that. I've tried the codes I thought could work with no luck.

I don't think it's really practical unless you insert all the information manually in a code.

Yeah I did but for some reason it's not working for the members, but my username is it's weird. I even tried to get it to work in the shout box too but couldn't. For the members name aren't you supposed to use the "Member" tag? or something else?

Can I see the code you tried to use?

There isn't a BBCode by default that links a username to their profile.

it wasn't really a code per say it was a tag in the BBcode list it's the MEwarner tag which worked for my username name only..here...

And here's the staff & members tags too in case:

They are all in the BBcode list near the bottom there.

The [me] tag is only meant to return the user that is using it.

The [staff] tag is staff-only content, and the [member] tag is member-only content. The tags don't return user data.

To determine a users profile link based on their username would require AJAX from the member list and AJAX requests from the member list are restricted.

Okay so there's no code then for it? just one that you can link to sites?

Not sure what you mean by 'link to sites'. The example I provided in my first post basically isn't possible for the aforementioned reasons.

okay and what I meant was that I saw a post that you could link the usernames as sites instead of to the profiles, sorry I wasn't more clear on that that's all. I hope that's clears up what I meant.

If you remember where you found that post and link me to it, I can likely better comprehend what you're trying to tell me.

Hold on I think I can here's what I was talking about although it wasn't what I wanted, (because it links usernames to other pages) but just to give you an idea.

Here's the link to that other code which has the usernames linked w/ sites instead their profiles instead: http://if.invisionfree.com/topic/5104254/1/#new (it's got the right idea for what I do)

So basically you're requesting a manual version of the code that will allow you to use the [username=Cory] syntax?
