Some Affiliate program URLs are long and ugly. Edited by tradenet on 02/20/12 - 9:28 AM

Do you mean putting the display url of the end result domain name in the window status bar though? If so I don't think that's possible anymore: http://www.affiliatetechhelp.com/o...king-methods-are-dead-161/ I'll consider a switch for the link.php method.

So when I check this the link seems to redirect to the details page rather than to the site itself.

With URL rewriting off, it goes to the destination. With URL rewriting on, it goes to an error page unless the frameset switch is also on (fixed that). There must be some combination of switches and settings or maybe template content you have that results in a different behavior, but I can't guess it. Tried the indirect links switch but that didn't affect it.
