That's one of the wonderful things about the auto-suggest feature, you don't have to type the entire username.

The invite/ping feature would probably work better if you could add a particular users message wall to the "topic" section of the forum post. That way either the person (or the person's helpers) could add, modify or remove the message wall(s) from the topic.
