Inaccurate links count
Hi, I just installed Links SQL 2.0.1 on a box running Solaris and using a postgresql database.

All appears to be working ok apart from the link count which do not always accuately represent the actual count.

For example ...

I added two links in a nanotechnology category. The nano category claims zero (0) links, although it has a "new" flag.

But when you enter the category, one of the links is there!
An applied math cat claims five entries, but when you enter it, the total of the links in subcats is only two...?

I added, then modified, record id 5 "nano nano nano"; it claims to be in the nano cat, but only shows up if I search for it, not when I drill down...

As you can see, this is very strange (unless i'm missing something ;)

Can anyone shed some light on this ?

TIA

Are you viewing your pages dynamically via page.cgi? If so, then you need to re-build your directory to reflect the correct link number for the category.

A ha ! - That would be too easy ;). This is after the pages have been rebuilt. Any more suggestions ?

Have you checked to make sure you have no links waiting to be Validated?

This one has existed for a while.
Trying a couple of re-builds or repair tables in admin usually clears the problem. Give that a try.
