Users add links with title, description AND Keywords..
Suppose every user adds 5 keywords.. some are double.. some not..
so if i plan to have about 5000 links.. that makes 25000.. keywords.. no.. because of doubles etc.. but lets say about 5000 in total..

--------
Now on the display links page for example and in other places I have the "Filter" (a dropdown that shows all keywords).. that would be a dropdown with 5000 fields?????
I know this is theoretical only, but realistic is to have about 1000 keywords after 5000 links.. (specially if you have very different categories)
even a the 1000 keywords loaded every page would slow down the system.. or am I wrong..
Ok the filter is limited to keywords by category.. but still.. we dont know how big we get..
I would suggest an option to turn the keyword filter off.. specially to save ressources on bigger board

Thats only an idea... but maybe i'm totally wrong..

Thanks, will check if I've beem that stupid (highly likely) and provide the option to turn this off. There have been similar problems with other drop-down menus during development.
