Bug report - Amazon links

[lowwall]

Is there a way to stop the forum software from autoconverting Amazon links to media embeds?

Here's an example of a simple Amazon link and what the forum software does to it.

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08GSW5H1X

Link follows:

My link got automatically converted to:

[MEDIA=amazon]B08GSW5H1X[/MEDIA]

which doesn't work.

Currently the only way around this is to hand code the URL using BBCode. For example:

[URL="https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08GSW5H1X"]Steramine tablets on Amazon[/URL]

I had the same issue and just posted this today!

Suggestion Thread 'In Thread Amazon Link'

Yesterday at 1:06 PM

I recently discovered that if I want to share an item that's for sale on Amazon, that copying the weblink / URL no longer works and this is what you get in your thread.



I finally realized that Amazon now has a "share" link option (circled in red below) Just thought I'd pass that along.

Thanks. I tested it and the share link does not get converted to an embed. So there's another workaround. But it doesn't fully solve the problem since most people won't know about it. Also you get just the naked share link which doesn't tell you anything about what you are linking to.
