Author Query String Parameters in HTML Placeholders

Hello All,

I am relatively new to MCMS so I hope that this question is not redundant, but have scoured the forums and been unable to find any other similiar postings

Our site implements both MS Content and Commerce servers. When a user visits the site with cookies disabled, Commerce server knows to put the user Profile into the querystring so that the users' information is persisted properly.

The integration between Commerce and Content seems to be such that Commerce understands to add the profile to links mapped by the MCMS System.

So far so good ... however ...

When a content manager adds a link to a channel or posting in the HtmlPlaceholder, MCMS appears to correctly interpret this, however if the content manager appends a QueryString parameter to the posting name MCMS appears to fail to recognize it and subsequently Commerce does not append the Profile to the final URL, resulting in a loss of state when a user clicks on the link ...

Example... I add the following link to a HtmlPlaceholder ...

http://www.sitename.com/category

then hit save. When I look at the HTML view of the contents in the placeholder I see something like the following ...

/NR/exeres/4ss536s-x5xx-5x8x-8888-x56x547558x77.htm?NRMODE=...WBCMODE=...

And in final rendering to the user, Commerce Server has recognized this link and appended the Profile to the query string

------------

However, when I add the same link except with a querystring parameter added ...

http://www.sitename.com/category?id=454554

I do NOT get an MCMS link back and Commerce Server does NOT append the Profile to final link.
