Re: @thepseudo in the posts
‘fix’ isn’t the right word, as it’s not really broken – in general, WordPress blog post text is left as the original author intended it to be written (with the exception of some meddling by Matt mullenweg).
If you want to modify your blog posts to convert @pseudo references into clickable links, you can probably do it by filtering the blog content when it is saved.
BuddyPress uses the function bp_activity_at_name_filter() to create those links. Take a look at it (it’s defined in bp-activity-filters.php) and see if you can adapt / use it for the filters on blog content saves.
