Fixed Posting URL with "@username" (ex. medium.com) breaks if @username is a registered forum user

[azzurro]

Affected version

XF2

A user discovered that a medium URL breaks if the @Username in the URL matches an @Username on the forum.

Example URL:

https://medium.com/@ipestov/collection-of-coders-games-to-improve-your-skills-9ea02906d73#.pdvade1a6

Screenshot of test below - 1st post - link worked as expected before 'ipestov' registered. 2nd post - link broken after user 'ipestov' registered.

@ipestov/collection-of-coders-games-to-improve-your-skills-9ea02906d#.pdvade1a6 is not a valid URL.

@ipestov/collection-of-coders-games-to-improve-your-skills-9ea02906d#.pdvade1a6 is not a valid URL.

That's the bug. The link in the 'code' section is what should be posted.
