Description

When a username has a slash it is escaped, but it never reaches CB due to Joomla htaccess rewrite rules. The slash needs to be converted to a different character then reverted as done with other characters like comma.

Best solution would be to alias the username using the existing alias function in the router. If it's different from the current username then prefix user id otherwise go ahead with just username. This will prevent usernames that aren't very URL safe from breaking indefinitely.
