 * Zoonini, your answer seems to be in direct contradiction to the official codex
   page on Using Permalinks: [http://codex.wordpress.org/Using_Permalinks](http://codex.wordpress.org/Using_Permalinks)
   A quote from that page (emphasis is mine):
 * > For performance reasons, **it is not a good idea to start your permalink structure
   > with the category**, tag, author, or postname fields. The reason is that these
   > are text fields, and using them at the beginning of your permalink structure
   > it takes more time for WordPress to distinguish your Post URLs from Page URLs(
   > which always use the text “page slug” as the URL), and to compensate, WordPress
   > stores a lot of extra information in its database (so much that sites with 
   > lots of Pages have experienced difficulties). So, **it is best for the first
   > structure tag to be a numeric one**, such as /%year%/%postname%/.

 * I have got the plugin to work again, and it is marking the results as I want,
   but the final line displayed in large bold text is “Total Points quiz can’t be
   auto marked.” The strange thing is, if I leave all answers blank and click on“
   next” it says “Total Points 0 correct out of 0”, but if I answer even one question
   I get the “can’t be auto marked” result.

 * PublishingCentral, since you are the only person I’ve found who says that this
   plugin works, I was wondering if you would mind taking a look at my question 
   about it here: [http://wordpress.org/support/topic/does-this-plugin-work-with-amazon-search-results-pages?replies=1](http://wordpress.org/support/topic/does-this-plugin-work-with-amazon-search-results-pages?replies=1)
   I’m trying to figure out if this will only work with specific product links, 
   or if it also should work with search results-type links.
