 Repro steps:
 1. Get a username of a user on a site that uses BuddyPress. Let's call
 this '''username'''.

 2. Make a comment on a post, including the text '''@username.''' (i.e. the
 at sign followed by '''username''' followed by a full stop.

 3. Observe that the username is not converted into a link to the user's
 BuddyPress profile.

 The problem seems to be with the regex pattern that is used to determine
 at-mentions in posts. This is in the bp_activity_find_mentions functions
 in wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-activity/bp-activity-functions.php

 The pattern is '''/[@]+([A-Za-z0-9-_\.@]+)/''', but it should be
 '''/[@]+([A-Za-z0-9-_\.@]+[A-Za-z0-9-_@])/'''
