I remember this request has been brought up somewhere before, but I couldn't find it. I remember that the USER tag couldn't link to a profile because vBulletin didn't support this without having a custom module for that exact purpose. With the move to PHPBB, you can now make the USER tag link to user profiles. According to Knowledge Base - Link To User Profiles With Username, you simply have to use a different parameter to memberlist.php. Example: /memberlist.php?mode=viewprofile&un=Savagedlight. If you implement it and apply styling, the user tag could look and act like this: @Savagedlight, but without the underline.
Edit: Here's a test of only the user tag: @Savagedlight.
