Doesn't actually do anything.

A few posts ago I was trying to use a [user] tag because I remembered seeing someone use one earlier. I was trying to type in the username instead of the ID, and I was confused as to why it just wasn't working. So I'm going to suggest that the [user] tag accepts names as well as IDs. So [user=330] and [user=TRS] will both show (sorry if my post is badly-worded, I just couldn't think of a way to do it properly) ♪♫♩♬ |

Yeah this is a thing I've always wanted to do
![]() The problem is that it should only accept usernames, and not displaynames. because displaynames can change, and the link would break. So I'm not sure... |

Well, even if the display name changes, you can see what the username is by highighting the person's display name. No problem there.

I would really like this feature. Whenever I use my 3DS, I can't rollover a name to view the user ID, since it will just take me to their profile. This feature would be very helpful.

Posted by Dirbaio Yeah this is a thing I've always wanted to do ![]() The problem is that it should only accept usernames, and not displaynames. because displaynames can change, and the link would break. So I'm not sure... I assume your back end code looks up the user id and grabs info from the DB. If so, couldn't you just tell it not to make it a link if it finds nothing, and just show plain text of what the poster put in there? |

The board could automatically change [user=USERNAME] to [user=ID] when posting the reply. But at this point, we would enter Dimension Board hax, so not sure about doing that.
