This is the exact reason. The "new" URL routing does not handle dots in user names, so with it we restricted the pattern for user names. > That is why you can use dots and underscore in existent users but not for > new users. We should think in some better solution for this anyway... > Allowing dots in user names is too complicated in routing and views. The better approach would probably be to "freeze" dotted usernames - i.e. not allow any new ones, not even for existing users. It would probably even make sense to force existing users to update their user name when editing their profile because URLs won't work for them anyway.
