Is there an easy way to get Alexa thumbnails to work if I'm willing to pay for them?

Amazon talks about a webservice, but eSyndicat generates a URL that looks like this:

http://pthumbnails.alexa.com/image_server.cgi?id=www.esyndicat.com&size=small&u rl=http://www.sample.com/

Is there a mod to enable paid thumbs?

Strange we didn't hear from Simon lately because this problem of Alexa is already know from some while! Many problems are not solved lately

I don't think that Simon has much power to do anything about Alexa going paid. Showing the Alexa thumbs was an option that was available in the script much like a free RSS feed is available from a 3rd party.

So how do rate this as a problem with the script? If your satelitte reception goes down do you call that a problem with your TV set? Same scenario.

The problem I have with eSynadicat is that there are too many bugs right now. Support the last couple months seems to go down. Newsletters are not sending out any more (you can not even subscribe lately because this feature dooesn't work anymore). Nick doesn't seem to be around anymore and no one of the staff told the registered members! If you look at the features Alexa thumbnails is still in the list however it doesn't work anymore.

So I'm trying to say if Simon know Alexa is going paid he should send out a newsletter to all registered Pro members to tell the news and his vision!

I'm going to close this thread. There's just too many threads (Alexa thumbnails) already started about this. Simon has no control over what Alexa does! If he wants to reply he'll reopen it.
