I am aware of this issue (actually i kinda knew this would happen before i made the regex and even added that to dev log 1 very seriously. I am, however, open to suggestions or pull requests for a different regex that handles usernames better! Meanwhile i will try to come up with a more stable regex but no promises... Thanks for raising the issue nevertheless!
