My site's user naming-convention is "firstname.lastname". This works fine when the user profile page is set to "members/[user-raw]" with the "Period : Do not replace" setting in PathAuto's Punctuation fieldset. When a user posts a node with a title containing periods, the link looks funky but still works. However, when copying and pasting such a link in a Filtered HTML input box (such as a comment referencing another node) then the filter gets confused and the link doesn't work (a trailing period is enough to break the link).
Do you have *any* idea if this is easily solvable?
Thanks.

Comment #1
dave reidYour best solution is to just allow pathauto replace the periods in the username URLs. Will doing that really change or hamper anything?

dave reidMarking as fixed due to no response.
Comment #4
savethefrogs commented1. I gave a link to a page on my site. there was a link at the end of the sentence.
2. they tried to go to the link with the period.
3. they got the page not found error
4. as a temporary fix, I tried to add a url alias with a period at the end.
5. pathauto converts the period to '-0'
6. the person still gets page not found error when they try to go to the page with period at end of url
7. now it looks like the site is broken, when it's just a problem with a period
8. I thought the core path module stripped periods from urls
Comment #5
dave reidWhy not move the period outside of the link? Like this. That would have solved your problems altogether.
