Issue is because of precedence of routes in APPPATH.'config/routes.php' file. Docs says next:

Routes will run in the order they are defined. Higher routes will always take precedence over lower ones.

Obeying that rule, very specific routes should appear first and most general routes need to be at the end of file. In your case it would be like:

$route['(:any)/about'] = "pages/about";
$route['(:any)'] = "pages/userList";

(:any) will catch everything, so it shouldn't be the first rule.

It would be better to use any segment before username, for example:

www.domain.com/user/username then rule is:

$route['user/(:any)'] = "pages/userList/$1";

It will match for: www.domain.com/user/adam, www.domain.com/user/bob, etc...

for this: www.domain.com/username/about

$route['about/(:any)'] = "pages/about/$1";

It will match for: www.domain.com/about/adam, www.domain.com/about/bob, etc... In your controller you can get the username:

$username = $this->uri->rsegment(3);
