BlackBerry Forums Support Community - View Single Post - Cannot open URLS that have a trailing slash or anything beyond that

From any email message, cannot open URLS that have a trailing slash or anything beyond that. Only simple urls of the format domain.tld seem to work.

For example,

an email with a link to cnn_com or yahoo_com without any trailing slashes/dirs

will open OK from an email message. However, anything like:

cnn_com/
yahoo_com/story
blackberryforums_com/general-9500-series-discussion-storm

will not be hightlighted as a URL and cannot be opened by the BB browser.

(I'm new so I can't post actual links here but hopefully you get the idea)

Just upgraded to OS .328, tried wiping, etc..no LUCK! Device is on BES if that makes any difference. Verizon says its an issue with the BES???

Anybody have a similar issue or suggestions? My gut feeling is that it is an issue with the new OS, however nobody else has reported this issue. Thanks in advance for any help you can provide!
