Hi there,

on our hosted instance “[forum.plentymarkets.com](http://forum.plentymarkets.com)” we get an error while saving an user profile:

“Die angeforderte URL oder Ressource konnte nicht gefunden werden.”

=\> URL or resource not found (sorry for the German, I can’t switch the interface language because of the error 🙂 )

Cleared cache and cookies.

`Discourse 1.7.0.beta10 - https://github.com/discourse/discourse version e6361d1228b4afd2d5042802ea547067a6e87152`

Best regards,  
Thorben

This issue was specific to users with period in username.

@tgxworld fixed this via:

[https://github.com/discourse/discourse/commit/d8541c589a08cc5e6902f1e93517275f1e13f0b3](https://github.com/discourse/discourse/commit/d8541c589a08cc5e6902f1e93517275f1e13f0b3)

There was a similar issue when viewing user profile with period in username, the route was broken. That is fixed via:

[https://github.com/discourse/discourse/commit/ab6843dcdea8215fbc9fb90330d327fa61638459](https://github.com/discourse/discourse/commit/ab6843dcdea8215fbc9fb90330d327fa61638459)

@thorbenegberts The fix will be deployed on your instance soon. Thanks or reporting it! 👍
