I edited the templates and lost my links. I have removed the css area at the top of the html templates. Could that cause me the script to not post any links? It still gives me categories..but when i click on a category, I get no links. Also, when I search, I get no links. the links are in the database and each category shows the correct number of links. thanks in advance for the help

Sounds like your templates are missing the proper tags. One thing that it might be, is that the <%if variable%> tags must appear on a line by themselves. So:

<%if links%> <%links%> <%endif%>

would not work and would produce messed up output. Instead use:

<%if links%>
<%links%>
<%endif%>

Hope this helps!
