Hi,

If you are importing from Links 2.x or 1.x, you should use Database->Import/Export->Import from Links 2.x.

Cheers,

Mmm, everything else seems to be working now, except this;

Importing Links ...
Import error: CRITICAL ERROR OCCURED: Invalid date `' encountered. at c:/PROGRA~1/NUSPHERE/APACHE/NSCGI-~1/wwwtemplates/cgi/admin/Links/Import/L2S2.pm line 775

The format of my links database is as shown in my above post. Is there any way to stop it looking for the date; possibly feed it the date?

Thanks

Look in admin/Links/Import/L2S2.pm and change: convert_date() subroutine to just return a date if you don't have one, or to convert your custom date format.
