recommend-it plugin problem
Not actually with the plugin but I went to install it and got this error:

Unable to install plugin: 'Unable to add column to Links: Failed to execute query: 'ALTER TABLE links_Links ADD Recommended INT' Reason: Access denied for user: 'rayhne@localhost' to database 'rayhne''

any ideas why this might happen?

It has to do with permissions, and I'm not clear enough to offer an idea as to why this might be.

But, you can add the column manually via the Links/admin or MySQLMan. If you can do that, it has to do with something "odd" in your system.

Alex probably has an idea :)

I did try to add via Links/Admin and got the same error.

I suspect it might be permissions....::hauling out really big club in preperation for speaking with web host::

(they are great people but the last month has been a hassle to get them to do anything)

It's most likely permissions.

Some "virtual hosts" change the way the system sees the database if run from Telnet vs Web. That means log ons have to be changed some times. This is ISP dependent, and you need to discuss it with them.

Probably -- you need to know how your webserver will connect to the database, then change the log on information in the SQL Setup area.
