Hey, Eric, possible traffic leak concern for you. I was working with one of your galleries today:

http://www.alscash.com/FHGA/ivanasug...i?I=latestnews

(I've replaced my actual CCbill # with "myid" in the url shown here for privacy vis-a-vis various GFY troublemakers.)

Follow that link and you're at a gallery with an ALSAngels banner at the bottom. The URL encoded in the banner is:

http://refer.ccbill.com/cgi-bin/clic...&PA=myid&HTML=

It's clearly passing myid as we would expect. However, if you click that link, you land at the following url:

http://www.alsscan.com/?PA=9303380004

It looks like a traffic leak, since the PA there is NOT the same as myid. And it looks accidental, since we aren't at ALSangels.com either. I think the lack of an HTML= parameter in the banner link is dumping us at a generic ALS landing page, and breaking affiliate tracking at the same time.

Would you have your people look into that, and presumably fix it (by adding an HTML parameter) if indeed it's an unintended traffic leak?
