1. To sort out the first problem follow the instructions in this post:
http://www.gossamer-threads.com/...i?post=188796#188796
OK, that works in the sense that only one instance of each link is displayed, but it also messes up the count. For example, if MyLinks_Per_Page is 10, we don't see 10 links per page -- if Link A is in 6 categories and Link B is in 4 categories, then page 1 just shows one each of A and B -- and the count stops when it gets to the maximum, so most links don't show up anywhere in the list.

2. You can remove the grouping option from the preferences template easily to stop anyone being able to change this.
Yes, we have done that, but the default is Grouped, so that is what users would be stuck with, which is unthinkable. It should be an Admin setting like some of the other options.


Two other problems found:

Preferences don't get saved correctly -- as soon as we move to another page, they revert to the defaults (though we found we could prevent that by removing all the Javascript from mylinks_preferences.html)

We can't use ASC and DESC as abbreviations for Ascending and Descending. We can change it in the preferences template, but we can't see what other changes have to be made for it to take effect.
