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:

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