When clicking a link to Amazon within any thread creates a URL that is unresolvable for Amazon.

example: http://www.amazon.com/Pilot/dp/B01D0MDRMW/

used to become: http://www.amazon.com/Pilot/dp/B01D0...=nosim/dvdtalk

but now becomes:http://api.viglink.com/api/click?for...%26amp%3BlibId...


which resolves to: http://cdn.viglink.com/api/http%3A%2...osim%2Fdvdtalk

Should be fixed now.

Seems to work correct from mobile chrome browser at this time. I will check ie11 on Windows 10 later and let you know.

I noticed a couple days ago that Amazon links are disappearing. I'm using the latest Firefox browser.

Here's one. Let me know if it shows up:

http://www.amazon.com/dp/B0037STB02/

Worked for me.

Turn off AdBlocker. As part of a recent update, AdBlocker by default rejects any Amazon affiliate link. (Plus...y'know, support DVD Talk!) You can also disable that specific AdBlocker filter:

I disabled Adblock Plus and it works. It seems like other users can see the link even if the user who posted it cannot.

Just tried to link to a BD Amazon lowered the price on, link wouldn't take...

I entered the web link. No problems. Did you disable your ad blocker?

kd5

Yes I did and I was able to see my link. I posted a thread at the Pale Moon forum about this issue, we'll see if anybody there can resolve it.

Actually, it was in the Easy List filterset within AdBlock Latitude (more than likely the same as AdBlock Plus), a rule had to be excluded/unchecked. I posted the issue in the East List forum, haven't received a response yet.

The rule is:

distrowatch.com,dvdtalk.com,soundtrackcollector.com##a[href^="http://www.amazon."][href*="/obidos/ASIN/"]

in case anyone else has the same issue with Firefox/Pale Moon.

That worked until a day or so back (not exactly sure as I only have the issue on review pages and haven't looked at any for a few days). I also tried kd5's filter uncheck. Neither work now for the reviews pages. I also just "upgraded" to FF v47.0 yesterday as well. It could be a combo of the two.

**EDIT**
I found and disabled this:
which is a Easylist block apparently tied to Amazon. That seems to have allowed Amazon links in the reviews to work and display properly.

**EDIT #2**
It *may* be related to the FF version as well. I have *zero* issues on my work system but FF on it is at v44.0. I may do a test "upgrade" later just to see (it's the portable version and easy to backup/undo crappy upgrade versions).
