Posting % signs in links on the forums

I tried posting a link which contained "%25" as part of the URL (http://www.wolframalpha.com/input/?i=%281.05^5*0.8-1%29*100%25). When using the "link" button to make it into a link, the %25 was converted into a % sign in the link's URL, which made the link no longer work (http://www.wolframalpha.com/input/?i=%281.05^5*0.8-1%29*100%). Source-editing the link to change the %25 into %2525 worked, however (yielding the first link). Could the parser be fixed for this edge case?
