How To Detect the user?

Hey. I know this code:

Code:

{username}

And I saw it being used on another forum like this:



I tried it, but it wont work. What can i do to make it right?

Where are you putting it?

I have mine located in the Site Description located in the admin panel >> General >> Configuration, site description. Welcome

Code:

{USERNAME}

Skittles Edited to add the code tags to end the madness and confusion.

This is cool looking. Is this only for PHPBB2 or can it be for 3 as well?

both

Oh nice, so how does one go about getting that onto their forum?

You have a line, and somewhere in the line you write the code:

Code:

{USERNAME}

Then it will look like this:

Hello, Guest!

Hello, Guest!

Well as you can see my name IS Rorrim. What I'd like to know is how my name is being used in a thread on here. I'm interested in this as well. We want to use this on our Forum too. So if people can tell me how or why my name is being used as an example I'd like to know.

My name IS Rorrim and I await your response with interest.

That part I understand. I was wondering how I'd get the following graphic on my forum as well:

If you're asking about why its used, and what your name is doing there...
Its good to look nice, and more personalised. It is more catchy....

Whoever logs in to a forum, with see their LOGIN NAME. A guest would see 'Anonymous'.
Simple code, but really cool.

I suggest then that you read this thread again then Mr Funguin..
I have only posted on this thread once before this response to you. My name is used from the second post. I entered in this thread just before you responded to mine. Take a look and you will see what I mean. Even from the quotes in this post show you what I am saying!

My Q was, and still is:
"How was my name used in this thread...?"
not:
"How do I use my name in the greeting when I log in?" Or for that matter, for anyone else to see their own name when they log in to the forum that they are on.

Irrespective of what you say there still is no real apt explanation or list of code that shows you how you do this. Ergo my question(s) still stand. Just responding to a post by saying 'somewhere in the line you put the code' does not help. The actual place that the code is would help. How do you access it etc.?
Once again I await a response.

This I'd like to know aswell, the welcome back (username) part I understand. The xxx posts & xxx threads since last visit on xx.xx.xx + the read first links I don't understand & would like to know. Please explain

hello everybody

LOL sorry guys, I didn't do that on purpose! lol I forgot to use the code tags so that the code would be inactive. hehehehe

Rorrim, do u understand now? I typed in this code

Code:

{USERNAME}

straight into my post. So it activated the code, to recognize your logged in username, and entered it in the post, to welcome you.
