If so, very useful and many improvements over the mylinks. Thanks for releaseing this module to the community
I will try this out very soon...

Very impressive !

Richard

seems very impressive indeed.

we should submit this to the module repository i think ohwada, so people can get to your file later (once this post is not in the front page anymore, i believe this module will be overlook).

this is a module that many people want/request it before because of visit site in a new page.
also there is very important question remain:
is this possible to upgrade from mylinks module or not? i try download and test Weblinks module now
thanks for share it

i install and test it in local:
1- fresh install with php 4.3.10 and MySQL 4.1.9 is down with no bug
2- fresh install with php 5.0.3 and MySQL 4.1.9 get me this error:

so this module is not compatible with php 5
3- co exist with mylinks is possible with no error.
4- upgrade from mylinks 1.1 is possible( but must test it more)
