I noticed that the LINK tag on the boards doesn't include usernames.  Is that because their text is not searchable?  Their text is also changeable which I don't believe is a good thing except for casing which I did to change "drakestraw" to "DrakeStraw"

[link=ur13193800] does not currently work on IMDb's message board, but works on lists. [link=ur13193800] also does not work when a list is published (pushed) as a poll.

When I first created this list, [link=ur13193800] displayed as DrakeStraw.

I have a hunch the tag will be "user-friendly" on board posts eventually.  The four that work now have been added one-by-one it seems:

[link]...Name Link: [link=nm2106835]URL link: Cynthia Lea
[link]...Title Link: [link=tt0093832]URL link: Red's Dream
[link]...Character Link: [link=ch0000007]URL link: James Bond
[link]...Company Link: [link=co0023400]URL link: Paramount Pictures

Also the Character Link worked before it was published on the markup sheet.

I found another discrepancy in how the user link displays:

Main Profile page:

Christopher Lloyd, but not ur13193800

Your Boards Profile:

Christopher Lloyd, but not [link=ur13193800]

From source:

[link=nm0000502], but not [link=ur13193800]

I hope they get some consistency soon.   I'd also like to see some subdirectories work in this tag.

[link=nm0000502/board] would be,  Board: Christopher Lloyd,

This was fixed today.  The only place I know of where it doesn't work is the main profile page which is programmed differently from the rest of the board system.  It does work on the board profile page.
