Are you still having this problem? What's the URL of your site?

No problem Sir ...
Also got your PM... very gracious of you to follow up ... appreciate it ... :up:
The problem turned out to be ours and not that of your mod. With 10,000+ members and growing, we had to upgrade to a new server. When we did that and moved everything over, apparently one of our settings was incorrect. A friend who is a Unix guru fixed it on our server and he said:
The main AllowOverride wasn't set for the overall web server, that was preventing some of the commands in the .htaccess file from executing properly.
I hope you understand what he means, because I sure don't ...
Anyway, it's working fine now, but something that would really help us out would be the addition of which Amazon country site the user wants to go to in order to buy the product he finds in the "search" criteria.
Right now, we set it in AdminCP to be Canada, where we're located, however, if the member is from the U.S., he searches the United States site and finds the item. Unfortunately, when he clicks on the found item in the search, the mod takes him to the Canada Amazon site and not the U.S. Amazon site where he wants to buy it from. If he then goes to the bottom of the Amazon page and selects the U.S. site to get him back there, we LOSE the commission credit for the sale as his link back to the U.S. while on Amazon drops our commission code information.
Is there any way to have the mod go to the appropriate Amazon site (retaining the commission information in our link), when the member clicks on an item that he's searched and found in a different country than what is stored in the AdminCP settings for the mod?
Thanks for your support. Great mod and if we could get it to go to the right country selected from searches, I think it would get more members using it. As it is now, we're missing a lot of opportunity to support our "not for profit" site by members who aren't in Canada, which is more than 70%.
