2 Minor problem I cant figure out!
Hello, I've got Links working fine but 2 problem:

1 - from inside a category if I click on 'add a site' I don't get the choice of categories to add to - only the category i am in.. is this the way its ment to be - how can I make it so that I get a choice everytime I click on 'add a site' no matter where I'm clicking from.

2 - the 'whats new' link is not working - the message at the task bar just keeps blinking " .. Waiting for reply" it seems to be looping - the path is correct and all the other links work ( cool, etc..)

Thanks in advance for any help that mey come this way..

Frank

Question 1 -- There is a variable in the links.cfg file that looks like this:

Quote:
Should your add.cgi automatically select what category the user is adding his link into?
$db_single_category = 1;

Is it on or off? That may be the problem.

1. In links.cfg, change the following to 0:

Code:
# Should your add.cgi automatically select what category the user
# is adding his link into?
$db_single_category = 1;

2. Can you provide a URL so we can see what is happening?

I hope this helps.
