Do you think I could just leave this part blank and it'd be okay? We're just going to replace the whole thing with a header image anyway, right?

BBCode Suggestion

Hey, maybe you could add some BBCode like [user]Example[/user] It would turn the username into Example

Re: BBCode Suggestion

There's already a user BBCode, it works a bit like the URL tag. Link to my forum profile //forums.everybodyedits.com/profile.php?id=2

[user=2]Link to my forum profile[/user] [user]2[/user]

You can just use URL tags for that, the world tag would be redundant.

Re: BBCode Suggestion

Yeah, but it would be nice if there was world tags, though.

The forum topic and user profile tags are likewise redundant, but they're implemented.
So it's an interesting case.

Well the profile thing actually makes sense because all you need is a person's username, and if you want to link to someone's profile, you know their username already and writing the BBCode would be way faster than typing out the URL for profiles, and that's assuming you even have it memorized and don't have to go look it up in the first place. For world links (and forum user links) you have to go look up the world's ID, which you do by looking up the world's URL. Stripping out the rest of the URL just to put it in a BBCode tag doesn't make sense.
