It isn't pointless, it's just stupid. First, NATS offers both types of codes, encoded and un-encoded. Unfortunately, NATS didn't come out with un-encoded URLS until later, so many of us still use encoded URLS.
The URL though, if you will notice is the same for every tour. The linking code redirects to the proper tour. Most programs give you links that goes directly to the tour. The difference, NATS tracks more hits than most programs because NATS tracks the hit the second the link is clicked, even if the visitor never sees the tour.
Back on subject.. Now if the program set the hosted galleries up correctly, you should be able to send hits through the un-encoded URLs and the links to the other tours will rebuild showing your username. To get un-encoded URLS, just hit the ad tools menu, after your linking codes are displayed click the un-encoded link to show the other URLS.
