Why is the link to the question changed?

Question

The link is correct when a question is asked. But later when an answer comes the link to the question changes.

Example - A question is asked and its link is https://sitename.com/126

But next- https://sitename.com/126?show=3124 

I want this link to not change.

Answer 1

• Base URL (https://sitename.com/126):
  This represents the unique identifier for the question. It remains consistent and is generally used to navigate directly to the question.

• Appended Query Parameters (?show=3124):

  • These parameters provide context for the specific interaction.
  • In your example, show=3124 likely refers to an answer ID, ensuring that the user is directed to a specific answer or that the page highlights it.
  • Other parameters might also track user activity, filters, or sorting preferences.
