Your original problem:

Quote:
Finally, none of these SPAM submissions "choose" a particular category. They select the top category which is no category at all. Can I somehow require a category selection, thereby not allowing a non-category (denoted with a "-" line) selection?


I just did a test on a clean install of Links2, and if I select "-" or no category, then submit, I get this comment on the error page:

--

There were the following errors trying to add your resource:

Category (Can not be left blank)

--

So, the code above should not be required, since the unaltered code requires a category selection. Remove or comment out the above code in your file, and try to add a link through the add page, without selecting a category, and let me know what happens.

Sometimes I forget to check the simple things first, and also how well the original script was written. Unimpressed
