I hope you understand this plugin

THAT is very useful. But before the clickable username, can we have the @ please? For example:
@flash.tato What do you think?

Thanks for sharing this amazing plugin, I will definitely use it, and hope that you update it to 1.6.

It's been done before.

[flash.tato]

I didn't know this.

This was initially a modification that came out when Facebook introduced tagging in posts for a my friend, i just packaged it as plugin yesterday just for fun as i left MyBB community.

Can you point me the already existing plugin?

Ah ok i found it is a your plugin, well obviously it is clear that i didn't want to start a competition (that if it is done properly can be a good thing).

Also they're bit different you want to imitate Twitter, me Facebook (try to write @[uid:username]) in Facebook.
Also your doesn't notify that you've been tagged, so there are differences.

Good luck with your plugin.

P.S. Also it is a stupid thing but my plugin ThreadRedirect Plugin! has been imitated in concept but still i don't go to Jammerx2's thread and telling him "This has been done before"

Ah, the glories of posting from an iPod touch, I'm too lazy to finish what I started. Anywho, http://community.mybboard.net/thread-66308.html is my plugin. And honestly, I had NO idea about the facebook stuff .. I don't use Facebook. Sorry if I sounded rude, and I'm considering sending a PM to those who are mentioned. Or maybe a mentions thing where you can search for all mentions of you.

[flash.tato]

Yes i found yours before!

[Lo.]

Extremely nice. I will be using this forsure.
