-->Deljah, I hope this is a little clearer/more specific than what I posted before.

-You can edit your reply like this:

-Here's the whole example of what your original affiliate link looks like (minus the opening and closing brackets), after you've inserted the link - you'll see something like this:

URL="http://www.amazon.com/Boardinghouse-Brides-Trilogy-Vickie-McDonough-ebook/dp/B008FTJXBA/ref?tag=dailycheaprea-20"]Amazon[/URL

-you would then select and delete the affiliate portion only (the part after the 10 digit ASIN - B008FTJXBA), right before the quotation mark:

/ref?tag=dailycheaprea-20

-and would end up with this:

URL="http://www.amazon.com/Boardinghouse-Brides-Trilogy-Vickie-McDonough-ebook/dp/B008FTJXBA"]Amazon[/URL

-after you press submit reply this will appear in the thread as:

Amazon

-->An alternative to editing within your reply is: after you press the "insert link" icon button (to add your link to your post) you can just edit the original link w/affiliate tag in the "insert link" pop-up window before you press ok. You select and delete everything after the 10 digit ASIN.

-Affiliate tags for stores other than Amazon look a little different, for B&N you basically remove everything after the 10 digit number within the link.
