I've had that, loosing the post is annoying. The site won't let you post html.
You can post urls but not < a href="..."> (note the space between the < and
the a makes it not a html tag.)

%2F is just the forward slash so it should replace them in the output
filenames.
Always post the actual command line used (log file line two)
