Broken referral/affilate links in my profile
The HubPages referral/affiliate links in my profile are broken and I cannot edit them. They either have the referral link stripped out or get broken when I try to add or edit one.
Is this intentional or accidental?
Have HP decided NOT to allow referrals from within HubPages?
If it is accidental - please fix it.
If it is intentional - that is pretty underhanded and means yet more work on my part editing out all the affiliate links in my hubs. Or does it just apply to profiles? Seriously.
I don't have time to piss about going through thousands of old forum threads to see if any one else has noticed this problem. I see a problem - I report it.
This is not a "known bug" in any case. This looks to me like a future update that was accidentally implemented early.
Great job on the condescending scale though - that was a good 9/10. You must have been in training.
