Are old reviews being deleted?

Recently when I searched some older reviews, the link will bring me to an ErrorException: Undefined offset:1 page. Are these old reviews being deleted?

Did you search on mobile by chance? I've been trying to get tech to fix the search on mobile for like a year

I searched with mobile and laptop. Neither works.

It looks like the issue is a bad affiliate link. I fixed that, and it seems to be coming up as expected now.

Thanks Adam. Was the issue with the Twilight Time link?

Yup. The URL began with http://https:// which seems to be confusing the code.

Thanks Adam.

Could the tech check for all Twilight Time review links? I searched quite a few lately, some shows up but a lot not. Here are a few more for example:

Yeah, hopefully we can do a simple find and replace.

Should the https or http be removed? Or does it matter, since their website is defunct?

The review form enforces http:// in front of the URL (not https://), so if you enter a secure URL, it'll prepend it with http:// . I wish it wouldn't do that, but... The easiest thing to do would be to just replace the http://https:// with plain ol' http:// , and it should work.

But yeah, it's a moot point since the website isn't up anyway. Probably best to just clear it out, unless you feel like chasing down resellers on Amazon and linking to them instead.
