When creating internal links for the FAQ (or for other site links), is there a preference for using so called "relative" links, in order to keep the user from being logged out if he/she is logged in under the other domain?

Internal links, such as a link to a forum thread, must have the domain removed IF THEY ARE WRITTEN WITH HTML TAGS. If they are not, any user logged in under the other domain will be logged out upon clicking the link. If the link contains www.broadbandreports.com, a user logged in under dslreports.com will be logged out, and vice versa.

The solution is to write the URL in the same way it would be on an HTML page ... using the full URL, but removing the section.

So becomes and looks like this:

dslr terms of service

got feedback? got feedback?

Any feedback you provide is sent to the owner of this FAQ for possible incorporation and shown publically as well.
