If you mean blocking words in the search...yes, that is possible. You would have to change the codes you are currently using with strict Perl codes. But it shouldn't be too difficult to incorporate. In terms of the My LINKS mod, jerrysu is working on upgrading the Links 2.0 version to work with Links SQL. Click on the following search link for more information:

Yes...it is easy to upgrade your database to Links SQL. However, I would highly recommend that you take advantage of the free installation or automated installation services that Gossamer Threads offers with the Links SQL license.

Keep in mind that if you have a highly modded Links 2.0 script, you will have to tweak the .pm and .cgi scripts in Links SQL to make the mods work. Although Alex and others have mentioned that the new version of Links SQL will be more easy to incorporate modifications.

Right...and I answered your question...yes, you can transfer data from your links.db into the Links table in the Links database that you or Alex create. However, keep in mind, as I mentioned before, that if you have extraneous fields that do not come with Links SQL than you will have to edit the setup files.

Have you read the announcements in the Announcement forum??? Welp, if you haven't, you should. Alex has just released an announcement today that is targeting next Friday for a BETA release of Links SQL v1.2. That forum is where you should look for information about Gossamer Threads and their products/services.
