Inconsistent database after adding field
Hi, I had about 50 links in my database when I decided to add a field for an alternative category.
Doing this, I lost alot of descriptions and such, but hey, I just input that over again.

Now, I've entered close to 400 links, and I changed a link title a few days ago .
Well - it won't change. When I view the link from the manager software, it is updated, but when I search the database - it's the same old title.
How can I fix this? I have experienced one or two other situations that I don't remember now, but that I relate into some errant offset in the database.
Can I open the database file and fix it manually? Any other suggestions?

Thanks in advance,
Ørjan Sandland

Make sure your links.db is chmod 777. You can also edit the database manually by opening it up in a text editor.

Thanks, the links.db file was actually owned by nobody. I copied to a new file under my user, and chmod'ed it to 777.
I'll see if this helps.
