Mmm... that not very simple then :/

What you need to do - is firstly - move all the linkID's "down" in the list.

For example, if the valid listing, before the big gap of spam is ID 12345, then the next one would need to be 12346.

..and thats where the problem comes in :(

The best way to do it really - is to have a script, which would go through and re-make the ID number - and based on the last "good" link you have (i.e before the big gap), it would then update the glinks_Links/glinks_CatLinks table - with these new LinkIDs. This could be a dangerous process though, and its always a good idea to backup your DB, before you do anything like that =)

However, thats not as simple as it sounds Frown
