    This bbcode lets you use [twitter]username[/twitter] to easily link to people's twitter profiles. This only took a few minutes to whip up the other day and figured I'd share it with anyone who wanted it.


    Example: [twitter]ipbsetup[/twitter] will turn into @ipbsetup

    Sweet, thanks for sharing.

    I wish MyBB had a Twitter code...

    Can you create custom bbCode in MyBB? If so I can create one for you as well.

    How is this better than just copy pasting the link?

    =\ It's very easy for MyBB

    Code:
    \[tweet\](.*?)\[/tweet\]
    Code:
    <a href="http://twitter.com/$1">@$1</a>

    Shorter
    Easier
    Faster
    Copy + Paste won't parse the name so its like @ipbsetup which is shorter and everyone knows what it will be for or directed at.
