Say I post a profile comment "Hey, @HullBreach"
It won't actually turn to a link and notify the mentioned party (HullBreach, in this case).

Unless this isn't the way to trigger this. This is definitely a bug, though.

I had a think about this and realized what was happening.

\n is converted to <br>, so the mentions look like this:

text1 @GuiedGui<br> text2

There is no user by "GuiedGui<br>", so it does not link.

Should be fixable with some clever trickery.

I think I figured out what's going on here.

So if a mention with @ is at the end of a line or at the end of a text, then it will be eaten. However, if you insert a space right before the line break, it will be correctly formatted as a mention.

For example (I hope): @HullBreach
versus @HullBreach

One of these should work, and I placed the space after the second one. Fingers crossed, only the second one should format. If so, that's the source of the bug.
