Direct Linking in Bing Changed?

I don't know if I can post a picture here yet, but anyone working with Bing Ads in PPC I would assume know exactly what I'm referring to.

So, I'm setting up a PPC campaign in Bing Ads, and when I go to create my ad after setting the keywords and such, it doesn't give me the option to set the ad type. Instead it shows the "final url" as the top link and the "path" somewhere down the middle between the title, mobile url, etc. When I put my affiliate link in the final url section, it uses it as the front part of the path name where I can add extensions...for obvious reasons I don't want that. The display url option is not there.

I was watching a guide online of someone setting up a PPC campaign and they went and bought a domain...if I'm planning on doing direct linking in Bing Ads, is that the only solution now, or is there a way around this?

You need to put your affiliate link into the "tracking template" under the setting tab of your campaign.

OK, and in the final url and path I would just put the display url there?

Yes, put the display url in the final url.
