Hello Everyone,
This is a PSA and especially urgent for those who are working hard and placing Amazon links on their websites. Some of you may have been aware, but I was not... until now. So, in order to help avoid problems and minimize the time spent placing the wrong links on your sites, I'm sharing the response from Amazon. Here you go....
Hello
On November 1, 2023, two of the SiteStripe features “Image” and “Text+Image” will no longer be available. Links created on your site using Image and Text+Image will stop working December 31, 2023. Please remove them from your content as soon as possible if you have not already done so to avoid broken images on your site. Please note that standard text links from SiteStripe will continue to be available and work appropriately.
