    Member group with ampersand (&) in name

    Hi people!

    I'm using Umbraco version 4.0.2.1 (Assembly version: 1.0.3441.17657) on asp.net 3.5 sp1, Windows 7 and Server 2008, SQL Server 2008 and IIS 7 and 7.5.
    Wow, what an intro, isn't it? ;-)

    Now to the issue:
    I created a member group with an ampersand in the name, when trying to edit the member group via the Umbraco back-end (members -> member groups -> click on a member group) I get an error, probably because of the following url:
    umbraco/members/editMemberGroup.aspx?id=Communications+&+Stakeholders
    The name isn't encoded.

    So the following code will fail (in umbraco.presentation.members.EditMemberGroup line 35:
    _memberGroup = MemberGroup.GetByName(Request.QueryString["id"]);

    I get a NullReferenceException, which is obvious.

    Was this issue ever reported? I had a similar issue with a member group I set up that had a ' in the name (example: Dave's). This member group would thow an error and was one that could not be deleted from the Member Groups section. I had to get into the database and mannually delete the record of it to finally get it to go away.

    If this bug was reported, I would love to see the report/fix.

    Thanks!
