I have 2 links of my own that i do not offer anymore, but i cant seem to find a delete for them.

So i would like to know if there was a function that i can use to delete my links? And if there isnt then i would like to see this in a future update :)

good point.

How did you get that text under your name to say "Xperienced ASP Programmer"

Ahh, the deleting of links :)

Problem: deleting links will allow abusers to delete links in order to wipe the slate clean of any unfavorable reviews and start over with no reviews and a higher ranking in the sort algorithm...

Yes, stuff needs to be deleted that is no longer available, but we are thinking about how to curtail the subsequent abuse of the system that is bound to occur.

good point again - you just cant win it seems, by the way - how are all the details stored? Are they in the same database? Does the result page use SQL to obtain the data and output it at set intervals?

how about a way to "suspend" the link, it would still be in the database, but not viewable to the public. And if i released it again (thinking about it) i could just reactivate it.

go to the "User Control Panel", click "Edit Profile", then half way down look for "Custom User Text". There is a field to the right of that.

On some forums you need a certain amount of posts before you can edit that..... so if you dont see it then i guess you need to post a little more :P
