Problem with "rate it"
When I or others try to rate a site, they get an error(me too). The error says "can't find id with 24~~24". How do I solve this.

Re-build your directory, so that the url.db is refreshed and current.

"Sorry, but we were unable to rate the resource for the following reason:

Unable to find link with ID '21~~21'."

Please copy a few lines of your url.db and links.db file. It looks like the ID field is being printed twice in your url.db file OR you are using bad codes in your rate.cgi template files and/or link.html template file.

In the link.html file, check to make sure that you have the following codes:

Code:

<a href="<%db_cgi_url%>/rate.cgi?ID=<%ID%>">Rate this site</a>


And that in your rate.html file, you have the following codes:

Code:

<input type="hidden" name="ID" value="<%ID%">


It would help us if you provided a link to your LINKS 2.0 directory, so that we can help you to identify the problem.
