I've added a MyCode to allow users to easily link to a profile by using a users UID.

It's not working. I've got no idea why, I've re-written it a multitude of times thinking maybe I screwed something up but still no success, any ideas?

REGULAR EXPRESSION

\[id=(.*?)\](.*?)\[/id\]

REPLACEMENT

<a href="/member.php?action=profile&uid=$1">$2</a> 

And  yes the code is enabled.

You were forgetting to escape a '/' since that is a special character in regex. Use this instead for your Regular Expression:

\[id=([0-9]+)](.*)\[\/id\]

This also ensures the id entered is an integer instead of allowing all characters. Have a nice day.

\[id=([0-9]+)](.*)\[\/id\]

Removes the option to use it like so:

[id=1]Administrator Account[/id]

I'm not sure what you have given me but it broke the replacement code.

<a href="/member.php?action=profile&uid=$1">$2</a> 

:/ Not sure, maybe it's just my end.

I forget to put a \ before a closing ].

\[id=([0-9]+)\](.*)\[\/id\]

Thanks!!
