20 Oct 11 - 07:46 AM (#3241805) Subject: Mudcat links to Amazon From: bradfordian I was trying to find the Mudcat link to Amazon. It took a little more finding than it should have done; needs to be more prominent. It's the UK version I'm looking for. Found it eventually (Do you know where to find these links?) Anyway, the thing is the UK link aint workin' ----denied access. So, is it now dead or is there a fixable issue? BTW, it still seems to be OK for you guys in the US! bradfordian |

20 Oct 11 - 08:57 AM (#3241843) Subject: RE: Mudcat links to Amazon From: maeve The problem is that only the USA link appears to be functional. The other three result in the following: 403 Forbidden Browsing for / is locked out by server configuration. I have used successfully both the USA and the UK link in the recent past, so suppose there is a broken link or some such issue. |

20 Oct 11 - 09:05 AM (#3241847) Subject: RE: Mudcat links to Amazon From: Bonnie Shaljean Yep, 403 has Forbidden me too :-( and I wanna buy some BOOKS... Maaaaaaaaaaxxxx WAAAAHHHHH ('spose all that spare money can wait a little while to get spent, cuz I want the Cat to get a cut) |

20 Oct 11 - 09:17 AM (#3241852) Subject: RE: Mudcat links to Amazon From: John MacKenzie I'm afraid I don't like Amazon, so I can't help, even if I could access the link. |

20 Oct 11 - 09:30 AM (#3241859) Subject: RE: Mudcat links to Amazon From: maeve I've sent a PM to Max. He's working around the clock on taking care of various Mudcat needs, so I'll be patient. |

20 Oct 11 - 09:32 AM (#3241861) Subject: RE: Mudcat links to Amazon From: bradfordian Thanks for confirming Maeve and Bonnie. Any update Max? |

07 Nov 11 - 02:44 PM (#3252276) Subject: RE: Mudcat links to Amazon From: bradfordian Still not working for UK Guess that's the end of the relationship then. No more cuts for Mudcat from Amazon UK! Not to worry, we got the NEW MUDCAT CDs ;~)) |

07 Nov 11 - 03:52 PM (#3252325) Subject: RE: Mudcat links to Amazon From: bradfordian That one works! Someone needs to update the links at Mudcat HQ. bradfordian |

07 Nov 11 - 03:56 PM (#3252329) Subject: RE: Mudcat links to Amazon From: bradfordian Might be an idea for those in the UK who want to use the link to use the above link then bookmark/favourite it. |

07 Nov 11 - 05:45 PM (#3252411) Subject: RE: Mudcat links to Amazon From: bradfordian Precisely! Somebody update those links PLEEEEEEEEEZE! |

07 Nov 11 - 06:11 PM (#3252425) Subject: RE: Mudcat links to Amazon From: Leadfingers Interesting ! The Mudcat Logo (Click Me) only works to USA , but there IS a UK link at the top of the page ! Dont ask me why ! |

07 Nov 11 - 06:28 PM (#3252439) Subject: RE: Mudcat links to Amazon From: Bonnie Shaljean I just bought a load of books recently and tried to access Amazon through Mudcat's UK link but got 403'd, so I finally just went in their normal front door instead of the Cat flap. Guru's link works for me - at least I get there through it, tho I can't tell whether it means Mudcat still gets its cut, but assume/hope so. Until the link can be fixed, could someone just put this address on that page as text, and let the faithful copy-paste (which I tried on several different browsers and it seems to work): http://www.amazon.co.uk/?tag=mudcatorg-21 (cheers for that, Guru). Hope it's sorted soon because it's a handy source of revenue, and certain of us are book addicts... |

17 Nov 11 - 04:00 AM (#3258607) Subject: RE: Mudcat links to Amazon From: bradfordian Amazon for UK http://www.amazon.co.uk/?tag=mudcatorg-21 copy and paste or use the link above Good idea to bookmark or add to favourites because you can never find these links when you want them (the other ones listed are defunct!) |

Holiday Shopping? Help the Mudcat! Buy CDs from Camsco Records! Contact Dick: (800)548-3655, If you shop at Amazon.com, use amazon.mudcat.org or amazonUK.mudcat.org or amazonFR.mudcat.org or amazonCA.mudcat.org Would have fixed it sooner but... I suck. |

23 Nov 11 - 10:30 PM (#3262464) Subject: RE: Tech: Question about Mudcat/Amazon link From: Richard Bridge I went looking for the mudcat/amazon linky today and couldn't find it. Does it still exist and work and if so where is it? |
|
24 Nov 11 - 12:08 AM (#3262496) Subject: RE: Mudcat links to Amazon From: Joe Offer Hi, Richard - I moved you over to the more recent thread on this question. The link has been "iffy" the last week or so, but Max fixed it yesterday. You can reach it by clicking the banjo-catfish icon on the main page, or you can go to http://amazonuk.mudcat.org/. -Joe- |
|
28 Sep 12 - 04:10 AM (#3411237) Subject: RE: Mudcat links to Amazon From: My guru always said The banjo fish icon on the main page seems to have disappeared, but this link should work for the UK (info about other countries further up in the thread) and some of the proceeds should go to the MudCat: Amazon via Mudcat for UK |
|
28 Sep 12 - 06:29 AM (#3411281) Subject: RE: Mudcat links to Amazon From: bradfordian So why is the banjo icon not there now? And why are the amazon links not more prominent? I'm sure there is an appreciable benefit to Mudcat at the cost of only having a visiblr link ! |

18 Dec 12 - 06:42 AM (#3453700) Subject: RE: Mudcat links to Amazon From: Noreen I agree- looking to find the amazon links takes ages now. Put them back on front page please? |

18 Dec 12 - 07:19 AM (#3453721) Subject: RE: Mudcat links to Amazon From: GUEST,Fred McCormick I wouldn't touch Amazon with the proverbial bargepole. It's been widely known for a long time now about how badly they treat their workers (lousy wages, rotten working conditions, no union recognition etc). Now it turns out the buggars don't even pay taxes in the UK, in spite of the enormous revenue they earn over here. Since we can't picket or occupy Amazon, in the way which happened with Starbucks recently, it seems to me the only answer is to refuse to deal with them. |
