| | Posted: | | | | Is there a way currently to assign where the amazon button looks for a movie on the web? If not I would like to maybe have the amazon button re-iconed as a store button or another icon button for marketplace/store and allow the user to decide where it points to. |

| | Posted: | | | | Since Ken gets credit for the purchase, when using the Amazon icon, it wouldn't make any sense for him to add something that would point to a different store. Can't your request be done using the custom links? | | | No dictator, no invader can hold an imprisoned population by force of arms forever.

Perhaps a groundswell of support will show up later. As for me...ditto to what the Martian said. | | | | Bad movie? You're soaking in it! |

Yes, of course you can but, by the same token, can't I ask questions in an attempt to understand what it is you are asking for? I don't know whether or not I would be interested as I don't understand exactly what it is you are looking for. | | | No dictator, no invader can hold an imprisoned population by force of arms forever.

I don't know whether or not I would be interested as I don't understand exactly what it is you are looking for. This is something I can answer. Both of us are somewhat relics around here and remember many builds of this software. When I first started there was a heading in the toolbar called marketplace/shop. I do not remember the exact name it has been too many years. When you clicked on a movie and then did the drop down it gave you a list of two or three sellers of the movie. I am asking for a cross between this and what we have now. We have the Amazon button which shows the movie and the Amazon price only. As I buy a lot through Amazon but not everything I have to go out to other places to find out about price drops. Therefor, I am interested in either a new marketplace button that allows me to see a couple of different sellers or have the ability to set the links to custom so I can point them to where I am intending on buying from. Amazon is great but is not all inclusive. |
