Show only title and description in the admin menu during validation
I have a lot of spammers submitting links and hundreds of them but only a few of them are valuable. It has become a pain to go through validating links and when I try to validate them, since I have some additional fields added to the databse, the validation page gets too long. I want to speedup the validation process and would like to see only the title and the description for each link to be shown, so the page does not get too long and I can validate many links each time.

Any ideas how I can do this? Thanks in advance!

I would start by using some security on your add page, like image verification (Captcha).

Andy,

Yes, this one is for links2 (not sql version). Do you know how/if I can only show title/description in the admin area?

Thanks

perlflunkie,

Captcha and other things have other problems. Basically, I have made it hard to fill the form so they have to enter a lot of informtion but spammers have a lot of time (I think they have 60 hours in a day and nothing to do - some in the old esatern block countries have 80 hours in thier day, and nothing to do). So, regardless of captha or anything else that we add to make it difficult to submit the form, they have all the time.

If I can validate them quickly, it will be the easier solution.

THanks
