On my site, the following link does not work:
> [https://community.namati.org/my/messages/group/namati\_globalnetwork](https://community.namati.org/my/messages/group/namati_globalnetwork) (private)
but this one does:
> [https://community.namati.org/users/tobiaseigen/messages/group/namati\_globalnetwork](https://community.namati.org/users/tobiaseigen/messages/group/namati_globalnetwork) (private)
They should both link to the same place, just like /my/messages or /my/messages/sent links to /users/tobiaseigen/messages and /users/tobiaseigen/messages/sent

I think the reason mostly because of [this line](https://github.com/discourse/discourse/blob/master/app/controllers/users_controller.rb#L168) in users#my\_redirect
> raise Discourse::NotFound if params[:path] !~ /\[1\]+$/
Underscore are not present in regex. So group names with underscore will not be redirected. Not sure why underscore is not added.
I would like to add PR unless there was some other reason for this. 😃
Edit: Numbers are also present in the regex. Should it also be added?

Looks like you are right about the underscores. Other group inboxes work fine, e.g
> [https://community.namati.org/users/tobiaseigen/messages/group/moderators](https://community.namati.org/users/tobiaseigen/messages/group/moderators)
