Forum bug with hyperlinks

So I just recently noticed that when a forum post with a long link is posted and viewed on an iOS device it doesn't wrap to the constraints of the post itself.

For example: (view this post on an iOS device, eg; iPhone)

https://www.thisisanexampleofahyperlinkthatistoolongforandiosdevicetobreaktothenextline.com

Alternatively, just scale the width of your browser window, it seems to generate the same issue.

I've noticed this bug as well on Chrome 23, Firefox 16 & Internet Explorer 9 all under Windows 7.

Oh boy!

I was starting to think it could just be an issue with Safari in general, but now I'm positive it's a bug!

Thanks for commenting James. :)

A simple addition to the CSS should fix this.

p {
  overflow-wrap: break-word;
  word-wrap: break-word;
}
