Link Tracking code not working~
« on: March 29, 2005, 10:43:39 pm »
hi, I am not very sure how to use the link tracking after seeing your FAQ page.

Message Code:!link_#1
Ref. Code:#1
Link Title:  Newsletter
URL (Hidden in email) http:// is optional : http://www.earnbest.com

When I click on Test, it able to gone through the tracking link , then go to homepage (earnbest.com), but I can't see the Link Hits change.

I then copy this--- !link_#1 to mailing list and send real testing. Then I receive this in my email

http://earnbest.com/listmail/link.php?id=20322ed#1

But when I click on it, "link not found.." message come out.
What happened?
Am I doing something wrong in the setting?

I just did some testing and it looks like there is a problem when you name your link code with a # character.  I am looking into it.  Until I fix it simply name your code without the character.

I also noticed an apparent problem with the link tracking.
I tried naming a link with a word, ex: !link_resell
Everything appeared to worked perfectly, except all the
info that showed in the tracked links section was "?"'s.
No name or email address.

When I use a link that starts with a number it works fine.
ex: !link_3-05-05

Is this a glitch or must we start links with a number?

Thanks in advance for your help.
