The last letter of the URL doesn't always get pasted while pasting a link in an answer in Q&A forum.
I tried 3-4 links and came to a conclusion that this happens only in URLs containing query string.
Browser: FF 3.6.12
Please fix this soon.

Also some times whole extension doesn't (Ex. Default instead of Default.aspx)

I've tried everything - html, aspx, with and without a querystring and I cannot replicate the issue you're having.
I'm using FF 3.6.12
Can you provide an exact URL that fails, and let me know if it happens when you past at the start, middle, or end of text you've written (tried all them as well and did end up finding a bug when you past on the last character)

Got it! Took me a while but I managed to replicate it and I think I've narrowed it down. Working on it now.

No holiday - it's more of a sabbatical so I can focus on things I haven't had a chance to finish throughout the year.

I tried various options and here's how you could replicate it.
Choose any question from Q&A. Write some text and then try pasting the link. This is what I tried -
<blockquote>Have you tried this: <a href="http://www.lmgtfy.com/?q=gridview+asp.net">http://www.lmgtfy.com/?q=gridview+asp.net</a>[<a href="http://www.lmgtfy.com/?q=gridview+asp.net" target="_blank" title="New Window">^</a>] (paste the link only)</blockquote>
and the result - last letter i.e 't' gets truncated.
My observation:
If the link is pasted
1) without any text, it works fine.
2) after some text, the last letter gets truncated most of the time. It worked fine in a couple instances.
3) in between text, works fine.
4) write a word (ex test), select the text and paste the link, damn, the last letter is gone again.
[edit]
You are right in saying that it happens when you paste on/after the last character/word. But here there are discrepancies as well. Try -
a) hello [now paste the link] - works fine.
b) hello there [now paste the link] - problem!
c) hello (one/two character) [now paste the link] - works like a charm.
How the hell is it so freaking random?

I can't seem to post a comment to this[^] question - I just get "Oops! There seems to be a server problem, please try posting your comment later".
Text of comment:
I am sorry, but your question does not make a lot of sense. I realise that English is probably not your native language, but we need better information than you have given.
Jag är ledsen, men din fråga gör inte mycket vettigt. Jag inser att
Engelska är nog inte ditt modersmål, men vi behöver bättre information
än du har gett.
(hopefully that makes sense - Google translate English-Swedish.)
Real men don't use instructions. They are only the manufacturers opinion on how to put the thing together.

I think the question was deleted after you viewed it and before you commented on it.
We need to provide a better error message.

Possible, but I'm not sure - I seem to remember refreshing [F5] after the first few failed attempts. If it happens again, I'll try to pay more attention!

I looked into this more and it was a straight out server problem. These things happen, I'm afraid.

I was a little bored in the office today, so I was looking at the profiles of members who were leaving answers in the Q&A. Am I off my rocker(more than usual) that some guys are creating puppet accounts and up-voting their answers? I found a few who had multiple up-votes on 90+% of their answers. I'm all for seeing positive votes for good answers, but a ton of these answers were absolute crap, completely wrong, but highly voted.
Maybe I'm a little naive, but is an online reputation really that important?
I wasn't, now I am, then I won't be anymore.

Not only that but look at the bullshit comments to those questions and answers. Every time you comment you get a point added to your collection of points. So there are some people, high ranking people, posting bullshit comments...a slew of them at a time.

Good to know I'm not insane... Now if only I could figure out why it bugs me.

I know why it bugs me...it's not right. At the same time, this place is just a forum, nothing more, nothing less. The points don't make the man, your contributions here do. And there are some "high-ranking" people here that don't contribute sh*t.
Just because you answer a question doesn't make you an authority and that is what some people do here. They come up with bogus answers that help out in no way at all and they rack up the points. Only your peers should be able to vote you as an authority..IMHO.

I'll have to start doing that. I really need the rep points.

You are now 3rd in the rep score table, just a 100 or so points behind John who's in 2nd place.

yes, a shoot-out for second place is imminent.
BTW: what a shameless plug.
