Sorry for the daily updates recently, but the new Ajax mode had some teething problems (this is why I declared it beta ;-)). With this update the Ajax mode should finally work for not logged-in users too.

Issue with using the Amazon Product Advertising API for Associates (“Request from blacklist_[xyz] is throttled”)
In the last few days I got several requests about a not working plugin status. The error message always is “Request from blacklist_[xyz] is throttled” where [xyz] is a individual ID.

Constantly receiving mails from the german speaking part of the world (what is where I am coming from too by the way), I decided to start this page multilingual. As of now …

Hotfix release 0.9.9.3
Today I released a hotfix release due to some errors that could occur when using customer reviews. The errors occured when requesting the customer reviews page from Amazon. Unfortunately the webservice doesn’t retrieve this information directly for some time now so I created this workaround for version 0.9.9.1. Either the Amazon severs have some trouble or the plugin requests got …
