PayPal links not working anymore

[jamesg]

I noticed today that the PayPal link I include on invoices no longer works properly. They were working and nothing has changed my end.

The links now gets redirected to

https://www.paypal.com/uk/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=_home-general&nav=0

and all the parameters that should be passed with it are lost in the redirect.

If I check links created in old invoices that did work at the time, they don't work any more.

Are others experiencing the same thing?

E.g.

The PayPal link that is generated by MS Accounting would be as follows:

http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?Lin...code=GBP&bn=msft.sba.invoice_v2&charset=UTF-8

This gets redirected to

https://www.paypal.com/uk/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=_home-general&nav=0

It should (and used to) redirect to something like this

https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webs...code=GBP&bn=msft.sba.invoice_v2&charset=UTF-8

EDIT: The forums is stripping the dummy email address from the links, but you get the idea.
