Two Questions: Bug? and Special Graphics
Sometimes, even when I've been working with the program (Links 2.0) for a while successfully, when I add or modify a category, it will say that it's been added/modified, but all the fields to show what was added/modified are blank!! And this time, two categories (well, one with a subcategory) were deleted! I created "Women" and "Women/Merchandise" and when I tried to create "Women/Merchandise/Beauty", I got the blank thing, then found the previously created category and sub-cat gone! What happened? Is there a limit to the number of categories one can create? Can I increase it? Even so, I don't see why it deleted previously created categories!

Next Question: Forgive me, Alex! I know you hate graphic questions, but I've seen graphic questions answered that sound like what I need, but I'm not sure they answer a certain part of it. I, too, would like to use special graphics for links that fit certain criteria, such as "Adult", but how do I set up the graphic and the criteria information? Thank you!

The editors pick mod will allow you to manually select links that you want to have a special graphic:

If adding to an existing database, you will need to add a field to the existing db. Page down a little on the following thread and look for Bobsie's notes on using the upgrade_beta.pl script to do it for you:

Can't help with your other problem...I've never had trouble adding categories.

Thanks! I'll give it a try, but today I've had enough. I need a break. I'll let you know if there's any further problems.
