I'd like a feature that would let me annotate user names:

Every time a link to a user name appears it could be marked with a user-definable comment: mirod (that's me), or TheDamian (yes, the Real One), or podmaster (don't forget to comment on his last post), or Matts (XML Freak).

Yes, it sounds stoopid, but for those of us (me!) cursed with a real bad memory I thought it might be useful, or at least cute, and probably not that difficult (easy to say without looking at the code ;--) using a table similar to the one that lists /ignore'd users.

It would be really handy for people I already know under an other name and who don't post regularly, or for people with similar looking nicknames.

Title:
Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>
and:  <code> code here </code>
to format your post, it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":


  • Posts are HTML formatted. Put <p> </p> tags around your paragraphs. Put <code> </code> tags around your code and data!
  • Titles consisting of a single word are discouraged, and in most cases are disallowed outright.
  • Read Where should I post X? if you're not absolutely sure you're posting in the right place.
  • Please read these before you post! —
  • Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags:
    a, abbr, b, big, blockquote, br, caption, center, col, colgroup, dd, del, details, div, dl, dt, em, font, h1, h2, h3, h4, h5, h6, hr, i, ins, li, ol, p, pre, readmore, small, span, spoiler, strike, strong, sub, summary, sup, table, tbody, td, tfoot, th, thead, tr, tt, u, ul, wbr
  • You may need to use entities for some characters, as follows. (Exception: Within code tags, you can put the characters literally.)
            For:     Use:
    & &amp;
    < &lt;
    > &gt;
    [ &#91;
    ] &#93;
