accidental links!
this is really wierd! so, say we have a project by a user called, say, examplePerson, and someone comments on it. the comment is this- "this could use some work.for example..."
and theres more to it, but i cut you off because theres no more stuff relevant to this forum topic. since the commenter forgot to put a space in-between the period and the "for", when examplePerson sees it, the "work.for" is a link, to a non-existant project whose url is "http://scratch.mit.edu/projects/examplePerson/work.for". why does this happen?

-imacat btw, this is NOT a link to a website otherwise inaccessible. ;-)

maybe the scratch server mistakes example.example as a link

Re: accidental links!
I'm pretty sure I saw Andresmh respond to one of these reports meaning that the development team is aware of this issue. Hopefully it will be fixed soon

In English please.
just comment on a project, and on the second sentence don't put a space after the period. and the-whiz, why did you say the exact same thing as me? just wanna know.

Re: accidental links!
The problem with a lot of people is that they don't post things with good grammar. Only I, a few other Scratchers, and the Scratch Team (why do they always have good grammar?) seem to bother. 
Dream-Caster used to get this problem since he doesn't add a space after the dot. But I don't see any of these glitches anymore.
Scratch Team, why do you always post with good grammar? Keep it that way.

We all do.
