I've had some luck MANUALLY adding links to the links.db file under Links Ext. There is no way I could have gotten 2,000 links added and categorized through the admin interface (I've posted previously about this issue.)


Why? The admin interface is quick, clean, and designed for speedy additions. When I surf the net, I usually have a window open, and cut/paste urls in as go along. The new interface allows moving categories and links around using a javascript interface.

Trying to make sure all the fields in a file line up has _got_ to be harder than using the browser!

The only time it's not, is if there is already a pre-generated list of links, that needs to be imported.

Just because it's familiar, shouldn't deter you from learning new tricks with cut/paste and such.

There was a thread a short while back (week or so) that addressed this issue. It _can_ be done, it's just not the way the program was set up.

As for books, I have a list at the FAQ site, (click the link below) .. [yes! It's back! It's not fully debugged, but the internal links don't work right yet]
