Mod Name / Version: Correctly hyperlink URL's with a comma(s) in them
Description: Some URL's contain one or more commas in them which will not hyperlink correctly when pasted into a post. This mod will allow them to hyperlink correctly.
Ex.
http://www.thesun.co.uk/section/0,,3,00.html
This mod should work in versions other than 6.3, but I cannot confirm.
---
NOTE: It will only apply to URL's which begin with http:// and not ones that begin with www. since those have a greater chance of being placed within text that may be preceeded by a comma not related to the URL.
Ex. I recently visted
www.example.com, and found the site quite interesting.

If the modification modifies the database, it's a good idea to backup your database before doing so.
Note: If you modify your UBB.Threads code, you may be giving up your right for "official" support from Infopop.If you need official support, you'll need to restore unmodified files.
