Linksid.txt file has wrong number: cannot add links from admin.cgi
I'm getting the following error message when I try to add links from the admin.cgi script:
'e:\mlc\cgi-bin\docs_online\admin\admin.pl' script produced no output

Initially, the problem was that the links.db file contained links with ID numbers out of order. The linksid.txt had a number of 153 when it should have been 209. Once I manually edited those files and saved them, I could add links with out the error.

Unfortunately, after I closed admin.cgi and opened it again, the error message has come back. The links.db file is okay but the linksid.txt file is back to 153 when it should be 210.

Does anyone know why this is happening? Seems link there was a thread about this 3 years ago when I first started using Links 2.0. I haven't found it yet.
