Updating my last reply to this thread -

I finally got support from the guys at eSyndicat a couple days ago. Now that I finally have the upgrade to the script, I am really sorry that I ever bothered downloading it. I've already posted four bugs to their site's forum, and there are a few more that I've logged but haven't had time to post. Plus, eSyndicat's usage of Smarty tags in their PHP and templates is so confusing that nobody can seem to figure out how to modify or create templates for this program. Sure, they have a few templates that you can download, but their tables break and div tags misalign when the browser is resized. I've been working in HTML and PHP for years, and I've never encountered a mess such as this. I've developed templates for some of the largest PHP scripts on the market with ease, but after three days of hacking away at their code I cannot figure out how more than half of their Smarty tags work. I'm sure that, over time, I'll figure it out, but I really don't have the time to waste right now trying to learn new coding languages and methods. It could be a really nice program if they had stuck to pure PHP and HTML templates instead of pulling the stunts that they are pulling.

Anyhow! I just purchased G-Links and will be purchasing many of the plugins as well. That ought to tell you which of the two is the better program.
