In case a user change his display name to be diffrent from his username, you cannot use @someusername to mention someone since you do not know what the users username is.

Would be nice to be able to optionally include an @someusername just below the link to a reply or topic authors profile.

Perhaps the best way of doing this would be to add an extra argument to the args array for the bbp_get_reply_author_link function. The current args are:

$defaults = array (
'post_id' => 0,
'link_title' => '',
'type' => 'both',
'size' => 80,
'sep' => ' ',
'show_role' => false
);

But could be changed to:

$defaults = array (
'post_id' => 0,
'link_title' => '',
'type' => 'both',
'size' => 80,
'sep' => ' ',
'show_role' => false,
'show_mention' => true,
);

I know having the user name visible is kind of a security issue, but since the user name already is visible in the profile URL…

Also, a setting for this in the backend would be nice.

can you tell me where this file is? I have looked and only find similar in:
content-single-topic-lead.php
loop-search-reply.php
loop-search-topic.php
loop-single-reply.php

but making the change by adding the ‘show_mention’ => true doesn’t change anything. i was hoping to add the @mention exactly as in this forum where under your name role above (participant) it says @martin_c.

Thanks for any help!
