Submission bug
After playing with Links 2.0, I've found that if the user submits his link with the title or description in quotation marks:

Title: "My cool home page!"

Description: "This is my first HTML experience."

then, in admin section, when I try to modify his link, the text (title and/or description) does not show at all, just a blank form! Then I have to search/replace the 'links.db' for quotation marks, which is a waste of time.

Have any one had this problem before? If not try it on your site, see if it works.

I actually had some people submitted their descriptions this way, which makes me a little angry at them. Smile

Regards,

Pasha

I don't know about the title field, but I have never had this problem in the description field. Even if "& quot;" (I had to put a space in that because UBB changes it just like Links does) is used, Links converts it to a " (double quote) and it displays just fine in the admin screen.
