If you are using php your _GETs and _POSTS would be the wrong way round if you just used a link like...
yoursite.com/index.php?submit=Thanks&user=000001&action=Play
However you could either...
1. Use a javascript link which just subbmittd the form(document.forms['formName'].submit(); )
2. (PHP) Change the form method to GET so variables would register as _GET wether you used the form or the above link
Im not 100% this is what you mean so do say if im barking up the wrong tree lol!
