Okay, can someone enlighten me about how my username appears when someone types # username #? At first I didn't know what was going on with some of the posts on here mentioning my name until I had clicked on quote to see if my username was actually typed in and that is what I saw. Is that some kind of code that does that and what is the purpose of it?

Yes, that's a code. I assume it was first created to alert new members to the TERMS OF USE thread at the top of each board, where the rules & regs are laid out for members as a guideline. Then it became a joke that is played on folks from time to time. It was originally created to get the attention of new members. Upon seeing their own username in a post, it would cause new members to click on that post.

The purpose is what Rap has stated... Here is the code, I cannot find it posted on SoCal's forum any longer...
Global footer
<script type="text/javascript"> <!-- /* Code for user's display name in posts or PMs by california, http://socal.proboards26.com */
var usercode="#user#";
var td=document.getElementsByTagName("td"); var re = new RegExp(usercode,"g"); if(!location.href.match(/headersfooters/) && !document.postForm && !document.ammForm){ if(document.title.match(re)){ document.title=document.title.replace(re, pb_displayname); } for(i=0;i<td.length;i++){ if(td[i].innerHTML.match(re)){ td[i].innerHTML = td[i].innerHTML.replace(re, pb_displayname); } } } // --> </script>
[/i] *Change the #user# to whatever you want to cause the name to be triggered.
