When you add or edit a link, offer the ability to associate the link with a an item from the users profile. For instance, lets say the user is from California, and there's a user profile field with a list of states, one being California. When I add a link, I could choose California and other states and that creates an association between that link and the user. For that matter all uses who have California in their profile.

The point here is to associate the information in the users profile field with links in the links database. When the user returns to the links database they can optionally search for new links and be shown what's relevant to them. This association can be useful with many types if links or downloadable content. You could have profile fields for locations, hobbies, vehicles, schools, etc, and put groups of links together based on the users apparent interest.

have you tried using a bbcode, i.e an img tag in the category description or extended description?

If a user doesn't have access to view a link, I would like to let me know this before they tried to view it. For instance, next to the link display a message like (Register to View) or (Subscribe to View) whatever. This sounds like something you could do in the templates, but I'm not sure.

The default vB no permission template that users are shown when they have no access to a link just doesn't do it for this application.

As a test, I enabled HTML and added the img src=/dir/file.png to it, which I thought worked wonderfully. Then I actually clicked the link, and up top, the HTML was part of the displayed category name. So it showed up like:
Library <img src=/dir/file.png>
I'll keep plugging away at it. :_)

Thank you again.
