Broken amazon links

[Kilrah]

It seems every time I post an amazon link to a product as a suggestion to someone the forum replaces the direct link to the product with a search for the name of the product (and an LTT tag at the end), which usually doesn't even contain the product in question, super frustrating. 

 

For example 

 

https://www.amazon.com/ARC-to-Analog-Audio-Converter/dp/B00ZJPTKH0

Which is the intended product, but gets turned to 

https://www.amazon.de/s?k=ARC+to+Analog+Audio+Converter&linkCode=gs3&tag=linustechti02-21&ref=cm_sw_em_r_mt_dp_KuDlFbKQXGFBZ

which is entirely unhelpful.

how did you post this?

Huh, that seems to be a recent Amazon break actually. The URL in the post is just the same except we add the LTT tag, but it seems that Amazon tries to be smart and redirect the user to their local site, which ends up redirecting to a search. I'll see what I can do about that, or discuss with LMG about disabling the Amazon Affiliate code injection.

Code tags

I have turned off the code that was adding the affiliate tag, so new links shouldn't have that behaviour now.
