Turn off @mentions

I’ve been trying to turn off mentions using:

add_filter( 'bbp_find_mentions', '__return_false' );

and

add_filter( 'bp_activity_do_mentions', '__return_false' );

but it’s not working. Has this changed in v2.6?

Running bbPress v2.6-rc-7 and buddypress 4.3.0

I want to turn it off as it’s not required by the site, but mainly that it breaks URLs that happen to contain a username as described here.

Any ideas on how I can turn off @mentions?

I’m still trying to find a solution for this, can anyone help?

Now running buddypress 4.4.0.

It could be that bbPress has changed the way it finds clickable links in 2.6. Here’s some code that works for me to prevent bbPress from finding these links:
```
add_filter(
	'bbp_make_clickable',
	function( $val ) {
		remove_filter( 'bbp_make_clickable', 'bbp_make_mentions_clickable', 8 );
		return $val;
	},
	0
);
```

Thanks for the reply, I actually found that the following worked, very similar solution to yours:

remove_filter( 'bbp_make_clickable', 'bbp_make_mentions_clickable', 8 );
