CRC Error on Creating MP Skirmish Challenge

I am running Build 1.0.4, and I receive the following error when I try to create a multi-player skirmish challenge: "Upload Failed - CRC check did not validate data. Please retry." I have re-booted my computer an tried three times, all with the same error message. I have created several MP skirmish challenges previously with no problems, but using different parameters.

The skirmish parameters that I used were: English Civil War, Open Battle, Small, Medium, Agricultural, Royalist, Royalist 1642-1643, Parliamentarian 1643-1645, On, Default. I also click on the Advanced button just to confirm that the Force Points are 900 for each army. After clicking the Create button, I enter "Hopton & Waller Campaign: Summer 1643" in the Comment field, and "Waller" in the Password field. I click on the Create button again and that is when I receive the error message.

FYI, I was able to create the MP challenge by removing the ampersand from the challenge comments.

Hmmm. Thanks for letting us know what the cause seemed to be.

It surprised me as well, because I didn't think that an ampersand in a text field would cause that. I also didn't bother to click on the Advanced button to confirm the Force Point size, so it could have been that I suppose.
