Hi TIMS Forum,
Please see the list of shortcodes:
- [member_name] – User Display Name
- [entry_title] – Forum or topic title (Subscription Confirmation)
- [topic_title] – Topic title (New Topic notification)
- [topic_desc] – Small part of topic’s first post text (New Topic notification)
- [reply_title] – Reply title (New Reply notification)
- [reply_desc] – Small part of reply’s text (New Reply notification)
- [confirm_link] – Subscription confirmation link
- [unsubscribe_link] – Unsubscribe link
- [reporter] – Post reporter user Display Name
- [message] – Report message
- [post_url] – Reported post URL
As you can see there is no any shortcode with user_ prefix. There is only [member_name] close to your case.
Yes, I do see there are no user shortcodes. I wish there was.
Member_Name does not work because it is my own name in the notification:
Hello timsforum2407@gmail.com! <-----That is [member_name]

I don't really care about having my own name in the notification. I want to know who posted in my forum.
