This only happens on mentions of users who haven't participated in the chat log previously, due to limitations in Discord API. To work around it we'd need to put markdown parsing earlier in the pipeline and make additional requests for each mention.

Ya I think this is an important issue to deal with. It has been giving me such a headache as I have to manually cross reference wallet movements with my own records. It would be great if this can be bumped up!
