the UL1 tag is famous now, ppl who know how to do it use it a lot in comment pages/profiles. Sometimes, for the one who don't know (yet) what it is, it may be confusing.
So what is UL1 ? I'll try to explain for those who don't know.
When you type a "/me" in some pages, it is converted to your user name, visible to all user who browse your message, kinda /you then, but /you syntax doesn't work.
When someone types the UL1 tag (which formula i won't give here), it is converted in the name of the user who browses the page, this way :
This is UL1 -> {##{UL1}##} everyone sees their own name.
This is Falkra$1 -> Falkra, everyone sees my name.
Ok now what ? Well it may become a problem, since more and more people use it with insults (i saw a UL1 is gay), or nice things (i saw a UL1 is the best member, lol), and it results confusing. I hope this little post helps a bit, and i hope the UL1 will not have a bad effect, which could be double accounts, just to check if it is UL1 or user tag...

I've figured out that the UL1 thing just displays the user name that's closer to the top on the page you're viewing, and it's always "Logged in as:".
Also, typing in UL2 displays the name of the person who's comment is first on the page, UL10 displays a random name from the online list, UL7-9(not sure about these) pick names from the shoutbox, UL12 displays the name of the user who registered most recently, and UL20 displays absolutely random names that ar not related to the page in any way.
Heh, clever system. But since nearly everyone(i'm no exception) seems to be abusing these UL1 tags on every page, i hope some admin disables it before every single n00b learns how to do it

I think that's the good idea, it should be disabled, it is addictive lol
And that's why i didn't say how to do it here.

yeh, ULn is the nth person to be ulinked on a page, not necessarily page comments. could be forum or something else... And the user viewing it is always first.
It'll never be disabled, cause that's how all the ulinking works, but it might be changed, again.

Ow so that's the ulinking mentionned in the recent technical changesn i was asking myself what can be this ulinking .
I don't mean ULn are bad, bad thing is that ppl now post it everywhere, that's why i wanted to explain/talk about it to it gets less confusing.

yes, randomise it
it is annoying seeing my name used when it wasn't aimed at me, or anyone.

Pff, one person uses the tag, then all of a sudden, WHAM, everybody's using it all the time It's for the better, ppl. The better of mankind. Or at least this little corner of the Interweb.

It's like everything here. Just like Zogger's drag code, like marquees, like everything. Then even the people who don't care, want to know, because everyone else is doing it. It's really annoying.
