This is the value for such url definition:
url(r'^(?P<username>\w+)/$', views.profile_detail,
name='profiles_profile_detail'),
the rule uses \w+ which doesn't match the dot character. Example:
>>> import re
>>> r = re.compile('(\w+)')
>>> r.match('name.1').groups()
('name',)
>>> r.match('.')
>>>
So, basically, django-profiles doesn't support usernames with dots characters,
you might need to override such URL.
url(r'^profiles/(?P<username>[\w\.]+)/$', views.profile_details,
name='profiles_profile_detail'),
url(r'^profiles/', include('profiles.urls')),
Makes sense?
