This BBCode lets you insert the reader's username, email, ip address, user ID #, or avatar into your post using the You Code tag. It's basically a prank used to freak readers out. Before anyone gets worried about this exposing people's personal details, only the reader see's their info. Even if you quote a post, the tags are quoted & not their info. The resulting post still shows the readers info & not the posters. Basically, everyone thinks the post is about them.
INSTALL / UPGRADE
this addon requires the Custom BBCode Manager Addon
----------------
BBURL OPTION
You can NOT use BBCodes in [ URL ] tag to make links like
because you can't use bbcodes inside the URL tag. To fix this I've included a BBCode called BBUrl that does allow BBCodes. To prevent Xen from breaking the URLs you need to install the Stop Auto Linking Patch Addon
you can not customize the BBUrl text yet.
If necessary you can use this tag for an url formatted version of the viewers screen name
NOTE: There is another [you] code addon in the resource center which works everywhere on your site including in templates but it only does username insertion & quoting a post quotes your actual username instead of the tag. Maybe it will work better for you.
