eg. John Smith @johnsmith-

So, in my mind, it’s not necessary. Of course, you can always change this by altering your theme.

So far, you haven’t removed the functionality. You’ve just removed the navigation to see some of that functionality. So, if someone does the @username they’re going to get a notification unless you disable that also. Plus, not many people are going to look at the notifications page […]

Typing @username creates a link to that members page but does not alert them via email, or message in their activity feed that they have been mentioned.

My idea is why dont you just display the @username inside the bubble? Then if someone needs that info its just a mouse hover away!
