Question

Um, a bug is a bug is a bug. If it disrupts my ability to help the community and degrades the quality of my posts because people can't click on my links, then it should be fixed. Adding a period to the end of a sentence is standard thing to do and if the interface doesn't handle this correctly, it should be fixed.
