url encoding error

I was writing a post, I pasted in two amazon links. Usually each one would be automatically encoded and embedded separately. Instead, the script tried to encode by starting at the first url and ending after the second url. I had to go in and manually encode the urls instead (with my own opening and closing brackets typed in.) Which worked, but I thought I'd give a heads-up that the script was doing funny things, since I've written posts with multiple links in the same manner previous to the updates, and not had that happen.

Like two links on the same line, separate lines?

Mine actually had one link, then some text, then another link, and only showed one url, but it did that same "404 looking for something" url error that's above. Only without the first one showing.

I tried re-uploading the plugin that does this with no success. If you are able to find one where this worked in the past, could you link it please?

(Please don't edit the post as that may cause it not to work and I need to see it first)

I have no idea what might be wrong or how to fix it. Unfortunately, the Amazon URL encoder is an unsupported modification for a forum software version that is now obsolete. My only choices will be to remove it if it becomes problematic, or allow it to remain and be broken ocassionally:-(
