The UBB software truncates long URLs, employing ellipses. If the poster uses the "instant UBB" link tags, the displayed URL is truncated but the target of the hyperlink remains the full URL.
I think you typed the URL directly into your post; apparently the truncating in that case occurs prior to the automatic creation of the hyperlink. So prior to my edit, the URL in your original post was missing some characters from the middle. I'd have to call that a bug.
