debug shows empty earlier. Now I get some:

Find #((\bAssociated Press\b)s?)#im
Replace <a href='autolink.php?id=10{TRACK_HITS}' target='_blank' class='DEF' onmouseover='GAL_popup(this,1, "International <!--GAL_REMOVAL-->News <!--GAL_REMOVAL-->Agency", "border: 1pt solid;background: #FFFFCC;padding: 1px;font: 8pt;", "0", " Associated Press", "border: 1pt solid;background: #FFFFCC;padding: 1px;font: 8pt;", "0");' onmouseout='GAL_hidepopup();'>$1</a>

Debug/rebuild seemed to help. About the forums list being too long, can I put "*" directly in db to make it for all? I am missing half the forums.

Change the datatype of forumid in geek_autolink_cats from varchar(255) to mediumtext

That will sort it (this has been changed in the next update)

Geek, thank you very much. This is truly an amazing mod.

When I add a new category only half of the forums are checked, clicking "check all" and save does nothing ?

Links don't work any longer. All worked well with version 3, can I re-install version 3 or will that create more problems ?

you have to change forums table from varchar(255) into mediumtxt and debug/rebuild

Thanks Lionel .. that solved it.

Looks like the ignore function is giving me a hard time. I created an article in gas, then tried to autolink and placed the threadid in ignore, but it is displaying as linked in article.

AH HA! I found something new. (maybe its not) in the Link description if you put a "'" the popup will disapear...

example.
Title Ain't worth it!
Expires Month
- - -

Ain't will make the pop-up title well the whole pop up not pop up.
say that two times fast!

thanks - ill look into it.

Ignoreid is a known issue - its sorted for next release (same with the forumids problem).

I think I have it all pretty much licked. Im just messing about with the stats layout then Ill release 1 more package.
