Comment:

 Enabling the BP_ENABLE_USERNAME_COMPATIBILITY_MODE option in wp-config.php
 resolved a few of these issues, but other links are still unaffected.

 For instance, a user named smith.1 still has "smith-1" URIs appearing for
 links in the user's profile such as:

     * Avatar Image
     * Activity
     * Profile
     * Blogs
     * Wire
     * Messages
     * Friends
     * Groups
     * Settings

 My Profile

     * Public
     * Edit Profile
     * Change Avatar



 Also, when a user is visiting another user's profile, links in the second
 column such as:

     * Activity
     * Profile
     * Blogs
     * Wire
     * Friends
     * Groups

 ...are still being created with the "smith-1" URI.

 Similarly, for these links, "@" characters are still being omitted.
