I used the Tweet Button code generator at Twitter to get the Javascript to add a Tweet button to threads. When tweeting the thread, the shortened URL is missing a slash, which breaks the hyperlink.

For example, a URL for a thread is like this:

http://shoutstreet.com/showthread.php?37-Welcome-to-78759-and-Surrounding-Areas

The Tweet button is removing the / just after the .com when it shortens the URL.

I posted this at the Twitter bug reporting site, but thought maybe someone here has some experience with this issue.

EDIT:

Found this workaround:

It works, but shouldn't be necessary.
