cgi links and accounts

[remmo]

I've read on this forum the benefits of using hard coded links to sections instead of links taking people through the cgi bin.

I have also read that this can be a problem with Customer Accounts... can someone please explain this to me or show me a link to a thread that may have covered this... my search has failed to do so.

Thanks,

When a user is logged in, the user must go from page-to-page via the cgi bin, so their price band can be determined and the adjusted product prices displayed. If you hard-code your links, then logged-in users are just going to see the retail prices, and information like Account & Buyer won't be displayed either.
