What's the URL of the page containing the problem? reviewboard/users/firstname.lastname Steps: I created an user account with the style "firstname.lastname". Clicking in "All review requests" on that name or use this URL reviewboard/ users/firstname.lastname I get this errormessage 404 "Using the URLconf defined in reviewboard.urls, Django tried these URL patterns, in this order: ...". A username without "." seem to work.
As Administrator you can't edit preferences for a user with dot in name. There's a validation on user-name-field that said only letters, numbers and undescores allowed. But you can register users with dots in name like steffen described. That's somewhat inconsistent. I prefere the firstname.lastname pattern for our group of developers and would like to see it fixed. Reopen that case or make a new one?
We'll reuse this one. Should be an easy fix.

Seems it's actually a third party issue. Django doesn't allow "." in usernames, and has no plans to support it natively. There is, however, a workaround that seems to be working. I'll have this up for review soon.
