Anyone using "Pretty Link" WP plugin for hiding affiliate links?

[avatar33]

So I've been using this plugin across pretty much all my WordPress affiliate sites, to create nice & slick affiliate URLs...

Now, today I logged on one of my oldest sites and I noticed a message on top of my dashboard that said "Pretty Link Database needs to be upgraded in order for the plugin to work properly" and it made me wonder: have my affiliate links been working properly all this time? or were they all down because I didn't upgrade to the latest fucking version? Is there a chance I lost monies all this time because my plugin was outdated?

Haven't tested them before I upgraded so I really don't know...

Have you tried just clicking on one of your affiliate links to see if it doesn't work?

Agreed on checking out the links yourself. Check your stats and see if your sales declined. Next time check your affiliate link often especially if you used a short linking service.
