I’m kind of curious as to why this only works using vB code on a vB board through Internet Explorer. A board I’m an administrator on uses Invision, and although the Invision user interface looks and operates almost exactly like vBulletin, this little trick doesn’t work there. I’m also curious if it works on UBB boards. ---

Roland Orzabal Ooh, a nice teal. I like. The software appears to no longer recognize character strings that have spaces, so I cheated a bit and used “RolandOrzabal” instead.
