Weird in-line link behavior

Sorry for only one line there – trying to even post that was creating problems on my end.

So, when I try to post that link as an in-line or stand-alone link, the thread crashes and I get a message that says “you were logged out” and I have to refresh and get thrown back to the forum I was browsing. When I go back to the thread I was trying to post that in, it shows up as an uncompleted draft, and it almost instantly kicks me back out and says “you were logged out.” I have to go to my drafts in my control panel and delete the draft before I’m able to browse the thread again. This originally happened to me in the Wendys French fries thread. I thought I had found a work-around by using the hyperlink function where you paste in the link and then the text you want hyperlinked to it. That worked in the Wendys French fries thread, but not here. I was able to post the OP because I was able to quickly hit “post” before it kicked me out again. I’ll link to the post in the Wendy’s French fries thread in a sec.

So, can somebody else try going to the Chicago Tribune link, cutting and pasting it in a reply on its own, and see if they experience the same behavior, or if it’s just me?

Here’s the thread I first experienced it in: Anybody tried Wendy's new french fries? - #50 by pulykamell
