Arguments in url are being stripped from the social streams

I am experiencing a problem where urls that I am pasting into messages to our users are being changed before they are displayed.

For example: Go to the following page:

https://www.drcarney.com/prags26

The click the more link to read the entire message.

You will see that we are linking to https://therealtruthaboutweightloss.com/?ref=lindacarneymd but that the hyperlink is not including the arguments. So, the hyperlink is only going to https://therealtruthaboutweightloss.com

This means that I am not able to share the correct url which contains an affiliate link in it.

Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Thank you, Sean Carney
