Right. The main issue is that the "." was stripped out without warning, and because it can't be changed, you're stuck with it. Imagine if you were attempting to set your URL to the unambiguous "experts.exchange" and got stuck with the dangerously ambiguous "expertsexchange" instead.

It would be sufficient to warn people that "." can't be in the URL and give them an opportunity to set it to something else.

Do you think this is one of the best points? Mark it as a good point

Let people preview their user URL before locking it in
If you set your personal URL to "first.last" for example, without offering a warning or confirmation, the system locks in "firstlast" instead.
