  I have a link on my blog to another website, which works fine on my computer. The problem is when looking at it on an iphone or ipad, it redirects through affiliate window to the website homepage.

  I don’t understand why this is or how to fix it. This is the link on my blog: http://www.railholidays.com/city-breaks/paris.aspx

  But on an iphone/ipad, you end up here instead:
  http://www.railholidays.com/partners/affiliatewindow/city-breaks/paris.aspx?AffiliateID=AW78888&awc=3259_1360332443_bce22398b4e18ced00e4dc479e820a14

  I do not have an affiliate window account and am not adding any tracking to the link.

  thanks in advance!

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  Hi there,

  I just got the same result – unfortunately, this isn’t something we control. The railholidays site is redirecting users based on what they visit their site on (whether computer or mobile device).

  I made sure your site wasn’t being flagged for affiliate links (it’s not), but I don’t think there’s anything we can do on our end, short of you removing the link or providing directions for your mobile readers.

  I’m very sorry for the inconvenience.
