It's been already covered in the "formatting" and "bugs" threads. :bandit:

can you link post?
Only (similar) to this was list items with dash, but not user nicknames (in formatting thread)

A solution for this is to get those site developers, kick their arses and make them do something.

There's only a small problem with that solution... It's impossible. :rip:

Hi guys, @vux777 @leocg @sgunhouse @joshl @gustavwiz, please have a look here - it's @ruario's (Ruarí Ødegaard) solution

Do you expect everyone to use it? :doh:
I don't think so.

Workarounds might be good, but... This is, however working, a complicated crutch, let the devs just write it into the Forums' code, will we? :lol:

@l33t4opera: Thanks, I knew I saw it somewhere However, will that also trigger a notification to that user?
