Zero: you're looking at edge cases thougn surely?
If we match [\s^]@(\w+) then it won't match tom@smoothwall.net or BETT @ Olympia, but would match @ZeroHour. We don't *really* need to warn the handful of non-js-users that this is a special metacharacter do we?

shinobi:
That's similar to my suggestion involving being able to "@" groups - likes it I does.

In effect a distribution list for admins / mods and the same for companies / sponsors like cp ltd etc

Implemented now. Please use @<username>;

@ZeroHour: cool

[localzuk]

@zerohour cool

You have to use a semi colon at the end. So, @plexer:

[plexer]

@tom_newton:

@tom_newton: you need to add a semicolon at the end eg @ tom_newton ;

[ZeroHour]

@tom_newton: test

Yeh its not case sensitive. I will think about smoothwall but initially the simplest way would be for me to make you a dummy account to a mail list.

[danrhodes]

@danrhodes: mine doesn't work?

[Gatt]

@danrhodes:

make sure it starts with an @ and ends with ; (semi-colon)

[danrhodes]

Ahhh semi colon, I ended mine with a normal :

[ZeroHour]

Yeh it changes it when you submit and it finds a username. Not sure why yet but I have asked.

[tom_newton]

Grah, semicolon vs. colon oddity, it is odd that it alters it like that.

Distribution list would be fun, perhaps once the support forum goes live?
