Hi,

We just noticed this bug across a few different sites we run.

When you’re in the admin view and click on the “Visit this user’s preferences page to edit their profile” link it returns a 404 error.

Here’s are some dummy links for reference…

What you get when you click the “Visit this user’s preferences page to edit their profile” from the admin view:  
`https://our.domain.com/admin/users/1234/lizlemon/preferences`

The user’s profile exists (non-admin view) at:  
`https://our.domain.com/u/lizlemon/preferences/account`

Thoughts?
