Amazon Links in threads no longer working
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

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

Re: Amazon Links in threads no longer working
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:

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

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.

**EDIT**
I found and disabled this:
##div[id^="div-gpt-ad"]
**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).
