Re-Indexing Links.db
Can I ?

1.Open links.db in notepad and reindex the links id numbers - they have got out of order.

2. Then change the number in linksid.txt to the next availalbe number.

Thanks.

It should work (I did it once). Be cautious though. Make a backup copy if anything goes wrong.

wouldn't that take forever ? Smile

you can sort it using a perl program.. but that would take so much memory.. it probably would crash..

Hi Gotze !

Thanks Smile No problems so far.

Greetings Jerry!

Not with me - only small number of links and it was only the last ten that were out of order. Smile
