Category not showing in validation list

Category not showing in validation list
I've got a new install of 3.2.0, and have imported my links, users & categories from 2.2.0. Everything is working except:

When I validate a new or modified link, I get the following:
Unable to validate link, 3155: You did not specify a category for this link.

There is NO dropdown or selection for the category where the rest of their info is.

The category selection IS there when a user from the front end creates a new link or modifies an old one.

Is there a fix for this?

I've attached a screen shot.

Thanks!

You're probably using the AJAX category selector. Currently, there's a problem where if the domain you're accessing the site through isn't the same as the cgi_root_url, then the category selector won't work. Make sure you're accessing the site through the same url - eg. if it's set to example.com/some/path, then use that url (ie. not www.example.com/some/path).

In the setup I'm using:
http://bizguide.businessownersideacafe.com/cgi-bin/glinks/admin

And the url is the same - still not showing the category.

I didn't have a clue I was using Ajax anything.

Or, is there a way to turn off the Ajax selector?

You can choose which category selector you use in the build setup page (db_gen_category_list option).

Also, if you send me admin access, I can take a quick look at it for you.

That worked - I set it from Ajax to simple. Thanks for the quick response.
