On a fresh install of Glinks, I've been experimenting with importing data as utf-8. I was able to create a link, export it to a file, and re-import it into the system as a regular text file. At first, there was an error message about the 'Free Link Expired' field not containing a value, but it went away after I stuck a 1 in that field. Then, using Wordpad, I tried saving the text file as Unicode, FTPing it up (Binary and ASCII) to the admin folder and importing, but it doesn't work. It says something about the Category ID column not being found. Any ideas? I have a very simple set of 2000 links (just URL, NAME, DESCRIPTION, CATEGORY) I would like to import but there are always a ton of special characters and it would be nice not to worry about representing them with html entities.
best!
