Thanks Brogan I found another code too {{ bb_code('Username', 'widget', $widget) }} It's amazing what turned up when I started calling Mentions by their correct name I've got both versions to work, and the problem is now sorted. Thank you Nicholas and Brogan for your help.

Progress! I' think I've found the right piece of code (I've been using the wron terminology it seems _ i've been referring to tagging, whereas I should have been referring to mentions) {{ username_link({'username': 'Username', 'user_id': 1}) }} However, I still have no idea how to implement it...

The photo will be from a post, and it will be changed manually each week. The title for that photo will comprise in part, of the name of the thread. I'll create a link to the post itself on both the title and the photo, but I just want to be able to type in the username manually within that...

Yep a straightforward link works, but there's no tag for XF to recognize. I'd really prefer to use a proper username tag, with a tool tip, but I don't know how to incorporate the first code you gave me, or even if it's possible to do

Thank you @Brogan. You're right, it turns out to be a custom field. Until now I'd assumed that the First Name field in the registration was a standard XF thing - I didn't appreciate it's a custom field brought over from vB. So... I've got my head around custom fields and allowing them in the...

Apologies if this has been asked a dozen times before, but if it has, I haven't been able to track down an answer. My forum has very recently migrated from vB, and members are used to seeing others members' first names in the post bit. Is there a way to show that on XF too I wonder? I don't...
