Hello there, @loveday6224.
This is because people are using the username tags (BB code).
Example:
Code:
[username]That tag makes it so it displays the readers username.
Are you following what I'm trying to say, [username]?

Thanks for your reply
excuse me for being an all out idiot here BUT i just tried typing the above code into another post in a different forum and it just showed the word username in brackets as opposed to showing [username] ???

I don't know for sure but it might be a custom BBCode thing :bluedog: made.

Each forum can have it's BB code setup in it's own way.
For example, if we wanted :TestTest: to produce a smiley face, we could make it do so.
In other words, every forum is different. Not everything always has to be the same.
