amazon links broken ON A PC (NOT PHONES)

[Cameramonkey]

Any progress on auto processing amazon URLs on desktop browsers? (as URLs, not media files) If you just paste them, they show up as a media link, not a URL. Like this one.

The only way to make them display right (sometimes) is to use the URL button. Even then it sometimes still codes them as media.

Man sized nail scissors?

OK, Ive had it. I'm tired of trying to squeeze my man fingers into the tiny holes of the standard over the counter (ladies apparently) nail/cuticle scissors. Uncomfortable as hell. After finding some nice tweezers aimed at men today, I thought "I cant be the only guy that gets annoyed by these...

It coincides with the board software upgrade.

I asked shortly after the upgrade, but obviously it has fallen through the cracks. (or the new software is just that y and there is no fix)

Testing. Clicked on share on Amazon, copied, came here and pasted. Seems to work fine at least from what I can see.

I remember, but it seemed as though early on there was a way that worked? Now nothing seems to?

I do not have issues with Amazon links. Sometimes no preview shows up but they work.

Edit, here's a new book by an author I like:

And where do you see a share button? Phone or PC browser? I dont see a share option on my Amazon.

Strange. I see it in my post and In your reply. Also see it in bwframe post above.
Just use duck duck go on my samsung phone

That one showed a preview and the link works. I'm using chrome on Android right now.

 

[Cameramonkey]

THis is all we see, and when we click, it goes nowhere. Google Chrome here.

In Chrome you use the 3 dot menu in the top right corner, then share and then pick copy link. Paste it into post.

It doesnt seem to work on a PC in Chrome.

The only way I've been able to get anything amazon posted is a screen cap. Obviously though. it doesn't link to their site...

[marvin02]

Just did a quick check and links work in Chrome and Duck Duck Go and are broken in Firefox on my Android phone.

Looks like a browser issue.

The links work in Firefox on My PC. But it must be the site if you can't get it to work.

I thought we were talking about the site working or not. Carry on, I'll just butt out.
