Baffled By Ad Creation Glitch

    When creating an ad with their software, it asks for the destination URL- with a text box to insert this into.
    However, if I add the entire url, it shows in the box at the bottom of the page as http://http://myurl.com, for example.
    I created another ad unit by leaving the http:// out and it does at least show correctly after that.

    Does this mean I have to go back and change all of my previous ads so as to make sure they point to a working URL?

    If this is the case- MSN needs to put wording into this to let people know to leave the http:// out of that text box.

    Indeed, I had to go back and change all of my previous ads by removing the http:// from the text box- as it is automatically inserted.

    Helps to proofread your ad unit on the right and ACTUALLY CLICK your ad title to make sure it points to your correct page.

    So all the clicks I paid for in the last 24 hours did me no good whatsoever because of this system.
    Nice.

    maybe just for you. for me, it automatically cut off the http://

    my URL, though, was a www. That may be the difference between my case and yours.
