I want shortcodes like:
[username] — retrieves user's (reader) username
[name] — retrieves user's (reader) name
,etc.
in threads.
This is needed because I can have quizes using the repopulate function (by link).
I'm kind of on the fence for this one. On one hand we do support /me which is similar since it parses as the author. On the other hand, this is not something I'd expect a lot of forums to need and could be achieved by hooking to parse_message.
I'm on mobile, so I can't link to it, but there is a plugin called All Id that does something similar. It lets you easily link to the profiles by putting the username in brackets, like [jshort]. I've added a few extra codes myself for my forums, so adding one to get the author's information would be easy. This doesn't belong in the core though. It has a small use case and can add a bunch of queries to a page call (if done how this plugin does it). It's good for a plugin though.

Is it for MyBB v1.8?
I can't find it.

If yes, can you elaborate/guide me?
