texte = HI, I had the occasion to test our development site through an AOL browser and there are issues with a refferer code I put in. Here is the code:[showif __bookmarks_^_[referrer]_][redirect url=[url]/proforms/index.html[/url]][/showif]Apparently (I say Apparenty because I wasn't at a place that I could test it) AOL browsers put either nothing or bookmarks as their referrer value. In otherwords I am being redirected.I know it has been said that [rererrer] really shouldn't be used in critical places but I am hoping for more of anylitical reply. Does someone have the means in which to test what AOL is putting out for their referrer??.... It's probably nothing. (if so this would be good to know) Also, if anyone has ideas about how I could code this different to avoid deep linking I'd appreciate the response.John had some good ideas a while back and I will take another look at those however they seemed pretty involved.thanks.
