This mod introduces the [YOU] "BB Code." When a user types in [YOU] the forum will replace it with the Username of the User currently viewing the forum. For example if you make a post that says "[YOU] was here." and your username is BirdOPrey5 you will see, after submitting the post, "BirdOPrey5 was here." Meanwhile at the same time another use, say Joe 113, will see "Joe 113 was here." 

Why do this? The most prevalent reason is just to mess with people, use your imagination on how... But there can be some legitimate uses too. I have a "Welcome" thread on my forum that Welcome's every user by name. They will see a sticky in my off-topic with their username to make them feel special- eventually they'll figure out it was the [you] code, but not for a while usually.

I have marked this mod both as BETA. THIS IS A STABLE BETA and I run it on my forum without incident. 

There are other [YOU] BB Codes out there but none work in as many places or with as many options as this one.

Usage is simple... just type [you] or [YOU] into any of the following locations:
1) A Post or Thread Title
2) The Body of a Post (Message)
3) Your Signature
4) Your User title
5) A Visitor Message
6) A Private Message
7) A Picture Comment (in albums)
8) A Blog entry or blog comment
9) A CMS article or CMS comment
10) A preview in the forum sidebar
11) A preview in any CMS Widget

All of the above may ne enabled or disabled by the admin, including the ability to allow or block in specific forums.
