    Why is it that these links change when you click them. They have the same charactoristics as affiliate links.

    Reported to abuse.

    Rex, I think you are mistaken, these are not affiliate links in any way. I am an AOL member and those links take you to exactly where the OP has stated. It seems like they only work if you are on AOL. HTH. :T

    IT MAY NOT WORK BECAUSE YOU NEED TO BE SIGNED IN ON AOL EMAIL TO VIEW IT.

    That's a load of ****. If you click a link, if it is a straight link it will take you to the page that is posted/published. When a link changes after you click it, it is a good sign of redirection (which covers what affiliate links do).

    You have posted refferal/affiliate links in the past that I have reported to abuse. Why should I think that you have turned over a new leaf now (and believe me when I say that I will watch your posts for future possible breaches).

    I understand that the link changes but all ive done is copied and paste it out of my explorer I think that it changes because its checking you are logged in heres the beta central site.

    Just click on aol safety a security and look at the link and it will be exactly the same one as i posted.
