Hi Bill,
I just tried to go to the REI page from the Swap/Shop pulldown and got the "This site can't be reached" page. Same problem with Bent Gate but the other two links work...

REI link?

REI link?

Re: REI link?
I wonder if there is a creative way to somehow better 'remind' us to use those links when we want to order from those sites. I just got a couple of things online from REI recently and completely forgot to use Bill's links (sorry Bill! - thus my wondering here...). Maybe at least periodic reminding such as quarterly and around holiday time?? I can see where some folks would rather not be reminded at all by having Bill advertise bigger and bolder, but just wondering what could make sense for those like me who forget. BTW - Good job, Jay!

I haven't tried it so YMMV but e.g.: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/deta ... ekcd?hl=engreenonion wrote: ↑Mon Dec 20, 2021 12:27 pm I wonder if there is a creative way to somehow better 'remind' us to use those links when we want to order from those sites

Re: REI link?
Great idea! To confirm, are you suggesting that the Redirector be used on the REI home page (and the other 14er merchants sites) so that it will redirect to 14er.com home page so one can click on Bill’s links to get to those sites via 14erville, instead of forgetting and going straight to the merchant as I have done? Seems logical but want to be sure I’m following this suggested intent.JaredJohnson wrote: ↑Tue Dec 21, 2021 1:25 pmI haven't tried it so YMMV but e.g.: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/deta ... ekcd?hl=engreenonion wrote: ↑Mon Dec 20, 2021 12:27 pm I wonder if there is a creative way to somehow better 'remind' us to use those links when we want to order from those sites

Re: REI link?
That's right. There's a plugin I use designed just to send you to Amazon Smile whenever you go to Amazon.com and I've forgotten it exists but the browser never forgets.greenonion wrote: ↑Tue Dec 21, 2021 3:04 pmGreat idea!

The fact that it allows you to forget the redirect exists, might become a downside eventually when you switch browsers/devices

Re: REI link?
Hmmm I still can't get it from the swap/shop pulldown
This is the link it sends me to which says the server IP address cannot be found.
