Disqus unexpectedly converting text URLs to LINKS in the post itself

    Didn’t notice that before but I guess it occurred after the recent upgrade of the plugin.
    any text based URLs in the post are being converted to links wrapped with anchor tag automatically. Not instantly but once the page is fully loaded. Looks like via the javascript code of the plugin.

    example is if put a plain URL like google.com without any anchor tag in the post, it’s converted to a link with anchor tag, when viewing the post.

    interestingly the conversion itself is not correct. it only converts the URL up to global tld. If any further country level tlds are present, they are ignored.

    For example. google.com.pk will be converted to google.com.pk
