Like this

Recap/JusticeLeagueUnlimitedS1E7TheGreatestStoryNeverTold
Justice League Unlimited S 1 E 7 The Greatest Story Never Told

the system adds a hyphen and space at the end of ...Never To for some reason, making it
Recap/JusticeLeagueUnlimitedS1E7TheGreatestStoryNeverTo- ld.

EDIT: wow, it even breaks when not marked up...

That's a forum functionality.

The forum parser inserts hyphens in any continuous text string to force a line break even if that string is within a URL. It's wrong but it's apparently not simple to fix. It also does weird things with commas. You have to use a shortener like tinyurl for any URL that the parser can't handle.

I see, so it's not a bug? pretty strange though.

Anyway, Since Fighteer's workaround is simple enough. Guess that works.
