Another crop of notes to consider:

When an internal link is inserted using the editor, the questions with " marks will be inserted with excaped quotes. These are how they are listed in the drop down list and how they are displayed.

The order of the "Internal" links drop down is in the order they were created. It should be possible to order this list alphabetically, or have a search capability. so that you don't have to do a "brute-force" search through all of the entries. I have nearly 400 entries and this makes it hard to find the proper links.

Once inserted into a topic, the links become "static" instead of "dynamic", what I mean here is that changes to the Theme name of a topic "breaks" the linkage and you have to do a search through ALL of the records to change the name of the inserted links. Perhaps with the new php enabled system this could be changed into a dynamic link using a php function reference?

When a link is inserted it is inserted with an additional space at the end of the line. This extends the underline into blank space.

When there is a long topic title, the inserted title is truncated. It can be displayed as a shortened version, but when inserted it should contain all of the information of the entered title.

It may be that the truncation of the names when populating the list box for internal links may also cause problems (missing links) when populated.

For example:

"Message from server: No work available (there was work but it was committed to other platforms"

and:

"Message from server: No work available (there was work but you don't have enough disk space"

shows up as:

"Message from server: No work available (there was "

Thorsten,

I hope you don't get the feeling that I am nit-picking ... you have a good tool, I just want to make it better!

I do like it, but when you have nearly 400 entries (and growing) it can get, ahem, hard.

If it would help you, I can also ship you the current database if that woudl help.

I did get phpMyAdmin working so I may be able to figure out some things when I get an understanding of THAT tool ...
