 * Hi,
    I want to shorten an affiliate link with the tracking id. The affiliate 
   link is as follow [http://affilaitesite.com/?tid=trackingid](http://affilaitesite.com/?tid=trackingid)
 * The shorten link [http://sho.rt/abcd](http://sho.rt/abcd) redirected to [http://affilaitesite.com/?tid=](http://affilaitesite.com/?tid=)
 * While using Parameter Forwarding,
    [http://sho.rt/abcd?trackingid](http://sho.rt/abcd?trackingid)
   must be redirected to [http://affilaitesite.com/?tid=trackingid](http://affilaitesite.com/?tid=trackingid)
 * But the link is redirect to [http://affilaitesite.com/?tid=&trackingid](http://affilaitesite.com/?tid=&trackingid),
   
   Character “&” is added in tracking id, Only the alphabets and numbers are accepted
   as tracking ID.
 * Is there anyway, the parameter forwarding function works without the “&”?
 * Thanks.

 * You’d need to do: [http://sho.rt/abcd?tid=trackingid](http://sho.rt/abcd?tid=trackingid)
   and the target URL just as [http://affilaitesite.com/](http://affilaitesite.com/)
