Show Username?

[dev2k10]

Hi i have created a new box in my index.php, I want to write "Hello (username) welcome to the forum!" then some other text, What is the code to show their username?

There's a simple plugin for this, To welcome members when they register.

You'll need a plugin if you want to add lots of stuff, but the code to show a username is {$mybb->user['username']}
