Awesome. $150 in a month. If we average that over the year, we'll hit $1800! That's enough to buy the brilliant mind behind this business scheme a new MBP, even after you cover costs.

Damn.
Great suggestion Tori. This is so much better than asking people to donate. We should have thought about taking Amazon's money a long time ago. Great to see the expenses being covered by our purchases rather than out of the pockets of a few. No more Twitter. It's Mastodon now. |

And if you use Cyclops (iPhone app), you can go into any store, take a picture of the bar code and it will scan it, then show you what it costs on Amazon, complete with a link to that item on Amazon.
I did that yesterday at Petco as I was buying some dog treats; $17.50 at Petco, $12.50 on Amazon. |

Oops, for some reason thought it was $120 on the year. Soon we'll hit $240 though. def. before Christmas at this rate.

Well, I am. Look at you people, being "responsible" with your money and "only buying what you need." Pssh! This is the perfect excuse opportunity to go on a f'ing shopping spree. I expect all of you to buy at least three computers, two HDTVs, a new cell phone contract, and lots of other things (does Amazon sell cars?) by year's end. Don't have the money? Amazon gives away credit cards. What kind of Americans are you?
Just look at you all, caring about your "credit scores" when there's shit to buy. You're all so damn selfish. and i guess i've known it all along / the truth is, you have to be soft to be strong |

Not to everyone- Amazon denied ME. (And seriously I only have 1 credit card and its balance is under 50% of my limit, and I have a good score, so I have NO IDEA WHY.)

well you will see a couple of bucks taken back...and then added...
i bought a portable HD for my daughter at ASU...UPS tries to deliver it 3 times...each time within 2 minutes of 1 pm....so 12:58 on tuesday, 12:59 on wednesday and 1:01 on thursday... of course she is at school at that time...and most people are likely at work... so it goes back to amazon...grrrr...for some reason they won't leave it and didn't leave a note... i had to reorder and put it for two day shipping and she has a friend staying at her house on tuesday to get it i usually love amazon, but this would have been much easier if i just sent her 100 bucks and had her go to the local best buy or something... oh well...my anger is fading... g ps...should get 50cents or a buck from a ps3 cable that shipped a couple of days ago... and i have some more movies shipping soon that should throw a buck or two also... crazy is not a rare human condition everything is food if you chew hard enough |

That sucks, g. UPS never leaves packages at my door but at least they leave a note so I can pick it up that evening.
Oh and you'll get some money from me fairly soon when I buy a NiMH battery charger. |

The affiliate link filter messed up the links in my post here: http://forums.applenova.com/showthre...017#post653017
When I go to edit the post, the VB Code is correct, but the filter is cutting off the closing ]. That said, when we buy our camera, I'm totally using the affiliate link. |

I may look at modifying the code later, but it's an ugly tangle of code.
edit: I see what's wrong... I'll fix your post by hand. |

Apparently the plugin works fine with these uses of URL tags:

Weird. I'll try to remember that in the future. I've never used quotes in VB code before, but it shouldn't be too hard to remember.

FWIW, I've never ever used delimiters for the any tags. Interesting that it'd just break now. |

No no no no no! "dick" and "quotes" don't rhyme at all. It was a joke.
Like, it was supposed to be funny, and thus memorable, because it wasn't a rhyme. It was a fail of a rhyme. and i guess i've known it all along / the truth is, you have to be soft to be strong |

Its not funny because of the rhyming - or lack of, its just funny.

Oh well. I thought it quite unlikely pair but who am I to judge?
No way to tell a rhyme from anti-rhyme here, I'm afraid. |

Does the plug-in work properly if we use the handy dandy button for inserting links? That's what I do.

Don't worry! For the time being, I have received an eleventh Commandment through divine revelation, and I have faithfully transcribed it into my forum signature, that it may serve as an aid to all.

The Amazon linkage plugin uses a pile of shitty regexes and loops. It's really awful and I ended up rewriting a fair chunk of it to be less insane.
