Mod Name / Version: Correctly hyperlink URL's with a comma(s) in them

Description: Some URL's contain one or more commas in them which will not hyperlink correctly when pasted into a post. This mod will allow them to hyperlink correctly.

Ex. http://www.thesun.co.uk/section/0,,3,00.html

This mod should work in versions other than 6.3, but I cannot confirm.

---
NOTE: It will only apply to URL's which begin with http:// and not ones that begin with www. since those have a greater chance of being placed within text that may be preceeded by a comma not related to the URL.

Ex. I recently visted www.example.com, and found the site quite interesting.
