Epoch Changed Their Link Codes?

Webmaster Discussion

When did Epoch change their link codes? The links used to look like this…

hits.epochstats.com/hit.php?s=343&p=2&w=106201&c=0

now they look like this…

hits.epochstats.com/hits.php?clc=1e1af205a120429276b5a3b03bc7f55a&id=106201

You can’t add &u= to the new links to redirect to a different page like you used to, so it’s less of a flexible format than it was before. Anyone have an idea when this went into place and why they made the change?

They didn’t send any emails to us about it, first I’ve seen it.

It seems they changed the old links too. The &u is ignored now and just goes to the default link page. GRRRR.

&u= is still working on the old-style links…

Ok, you are right. Helps if I test a page that still exists. :slight_smile:

Ugh, that is a bad link too. That link is going to a dead /tour page on an old, unused tour. All generic affiliate links now direct to our new tour and a script sorts out which affiliate join page to show (Epoch or CCbill).

Old deep links will still work properly and we’ll keep those pages up for all eternity.
