nollidnosnhoj, can you give me the board URL? I want to test a little to make sure what the problem is. (Feel free to PM)
if I'm already using dvz mentions and I uninstall that and install your plugin, will your plugin replace the old mentions? also, with that previous question in mind, will it then alert users of 'new mentions' even if they're old?

If you are asking if the mentions stored in posts will still be recognized, displayed, and linked, then yes. The two plugins work the same way in terms of mention recognition.

No. Mention alerts are only created when the post/thread is initially created or when it is edited.
@andrewjs18 - it is same behaviour as in Facebook.
Maybe there is a space for improvement:
Alert: "User XX and (10) others mentioned you in ...." but this will need more server resources and time for coding

You can do it by changing the file forum.php in inc>plugins>mentionme>forum.php
@<a id="mention_{$user['uid']}" href="{$url}">{$username}</a>
Remove @ from above file.
It should work, I haven't tried it.

Yeah, WallBB is correct. That is currently the only way to remove the '@'.
Is this a popular thing to remove the '@'? If so, I can create a setting so you don't have to modify the source.
