clickurl macro not working anymore?

[proa]

Greetings,

I just found out the {clickurl} macro, which we've used for a while now for our web ads, no longer seems to work. When I don't have it in there, the link works. When I do, it doesn't. It gets jammed and won't refer to the website in question any longer. See example.

<ins class='dcmads' style='display:inline-block;width:300px;height:600px'
    data-dcm-placement='N6103.2271707CFEMEDIALLC/B23825329.268628419'
    data-dcm-rendering-mode='script'
    data-dcm-https-only
    data-dcm-resettable-device-id=''
    data-dcm-app-id=''
    data-dcm-click-tracker='{clickurl}'>
  <script src='https://www.googletagservices.com/dcm/dcmads.js'></script>
</ins>

Is there something that I need to do or is there a new macro that will allow me to bypass this problem?

When you say it now no longer seems to work, but used to, my question is always - what changed, if anything?

Was there a system or upgrade change?

As far as I am aware, there was not any system change or upgrade recently regarding aqua ad server (what we use), but I will look into it with my people.

I conferred with my superiors and there has been no system or upgrade change recently that would account for this.

Hi @proa,

You mentioned "aqua ad server". Do you mean https://www.aquaplatform.com/ ?

[proa]

That's the one, yes. That's what we currently use to house our web ads.

Following up to see if there's anything I can do or try on my end to work around this issue.

Do you have any further advice on how to work around this issue so we can track clicks? We have a new batch of ads with this structure coming up in the next week. Thanks.
