This is not always, but often.
I just tried to post 2 Amazon links...with spacing and more copy between them...and only one appeared.
As said, this doesn't happen all the time, but is annoying when it does.

Pasta, if you copy one link and then another the first link will be cancelled.

Even if I've slready pasted the first one in the answer space? Which is what I did. Then I searched for the second link.
That doesn't make sense.
Its Amazon, not AB.

You think?
Hmmmm...
If you pasted the first one before cutting the second one then it should have worked.
can you change the colour of text?

hello
Question Author
That's what I did.
It's one of the curiosities of AB ;)...gremlins at work.
^^^^^^^^^^^ that was me trying to post two different links from Amazon -it only linked to the second item .
How bizarre. It only let me post one link but the other day I was able to post at least two
I put sentences with line spaces in between each link and it only posted the last one

I'll try again in a bit
Seems to have worked OK for me, but what substitutes "Amazon.com User Recommendation" for the URLs I cut and pasted?
What browser are you using Pasta?
Ah, if I follow the links in my 11:07 post, there is "/?tag=theans-21" appended to the end of the URLs I pasted. I guess this is added by AB to indicate to Amazon that the referral came from AB's website.
I therefore reckon that, if AB detects a link to 'amazon.com' or 'amazon.co.uk' in a post they append the tag to the URL and use "Amazon.com [or Amazon.co.uk] User Recommendation" for the link text. That doesn't explain the failure to post 2 links though, and I don't get that using MS Edge browser.
