A "sort-of" explanation:
FP changes links when you copy&paste them from one page to another in the
editor. This is a good feature most of the time. For example: You have a
link on a page that links to an image in the same folder. Like
href="myimage.gif", and you copy that link into a page that is in a
subfolder. Since the image is then in a different folder than the page
containing the link to it, the link is changed (to something like
href="../myimage.gif") so that it is not broken. As said: Usually a good and
desirable thing.
The problem is, sometimes you don't *want* links to be changed: For example,
if "myimage.gif" exists in the subfolder too, and you *want* to link to this
other image.
In those cases, do *not* copy the link with copy&paste in the "normal" edit
mode, but go to HTML-view mode instead, and copy it there. If copied in
HTML-mode links are copied verbatim and are not changed...

Hope it helps a bit,
Johannes.
