    CB Encrypts the links so that your affiliate id isn't shown. This is perfectly normal.

    CB has started encrypting links to try to prevent companies like Zango from stealing commissions.

    Like the others have said, hoplinks are now encrypted. You can, however, still use the old style if you want.
