Not down, but the search function to Amazon seems to not be working. I even went to Amazon to get the ISBN I was looking for. It doesn't say that the book can't be found it just doesn't seem to do anything.

Still a problem today and no notice that they've lost their search function with Amazon.

Happy to see this isn't just me. I wanted to post a book & couldn't get anything to come up.

eta: I just sent tech support an email.

I would imagine that they would want to get that fixed. Don't they receive revenue when we go searching from them to Amazon?

No, I don't think affiliate links work that way - only if someone buys after using that link. But still, that's an important aspect of the site, I would think they'd want it working.

The support team answered my email:

Susan,

The Interface with Amazon is only working intermittently,

This happens on occasion when they are tweaking things on their end, it should be resolved soon.

Well, good to know they will be back. Now if I can remember the books I wanted to find until then.

copying skittles post with the url in it here. I was looking for it today.

Of course, we will never, ever, not possibly use this thread ever again...

but since the last one was getting rather long....

Here's to hoping that we never need to use this thread again!!!

.... especially since BM is running slow this weekend!! **cough cough**
