Can someone help me?? The install went fine but when I got to add a link it doesn't work :'( No errors or anything.
Edit: Was fixed by adding a catgory then redoing the link.
New problem. The first 2 that I entered before posting this message dont show, but on the Admin CP home, it says: Total links: 4. Meaning they are there but not visible, both on the forum and in the admin cp.

This is probably because you added the links before creating a category to place them in. If the links don't show in the admin cp, you will need to manually edit or delete them in the database, either by changing the category ID associated with the link, or by deleting it and then re-adding it in the admin cp.
Since you've raised this as an issue, I'll implement some protection against this in the next version will be along soon.
ok, I can get into a database, but having never actually used one or change anything in it, do you have the time to tell me what to click to delete the first 2??
Also, a great feature would be imediate link on the links page, not have to go to a catgory. I think that would be cool.

This all depends on how you are accessing the database. Are you using phpMyAdmin, and if so, do you know which version?
Ok, go into phpMyAdmin and select your forums database from the drop down menu on the left. Once there, look for a table on the left called "forumlinks" and click it. Once it has loaded you need to navigate to the "Browse" tab, and all the links you have added to the forum will be listed in the database.
In phpMyAdmin 2.4.0, I think there is a "delete" link on each row of the table (it's a dustbin like image in the newer versions). You need to delete the rows containing the links you want to delete. If you are in doubt about which rows these are, I would strongly recommend that you delete nothing, and we'll find another way. I would imagine though, that if the links were the first two you added, they will probably be the first two rows in the table, where the "lid" is 1 and 2.
hmm, problem. There is only the catagory with its name and descrition there :/

Are you sure you are looking at the table named "forumlinks" and not the one named "linkcategories"?
awesome. You were right, was in wrong place :$
Anyway

Can you also have the option to have link on the links page??

Possibly.
I was debating this with the last version, but for the moment I wanted to keep all links in categories. When the time comes for a new version I'll think about it again.
