After registration

Hi there,

I signed up today & there is a strange quirk with my account (almost certainly because I put a . at the end of my username), when I click on my profile at the top right of the page I get sent to somebody elses profile, with the same username as me without the .

The link I click on is this members/bully..html

But I actually get sent to members/bully.html which is a user who doesn't appear to have been active since 2005.

I assume the 'fix' is to change my username but the system should be able to deal with periods or if it can't then periods should not be allowed in usernames during sign up.

Thanks
