Note: Not sure if this is related, but I used the Flash sites extra plugin and all the old entries that showed up in the new entries stats in LDM pages happen to be entries created by that plugin.

There's a parameter missing on the relevant function call, so the sql is requesting 'all entries' rather than 'new entries'. Assuming that I didn't do that for a reason that I've forgotten, the solution is as follows:

edit includes/local_links_vbafunc.php

find function ldm_get_hitparades($catid, $template="links_hitparade")

find

	$hitsince = ($links_defaults['days_seen_on_portal'] ? TIMENOW-intval($links_defaults['days_seen_on_portal'])*24*60*60 : $vbulletin->userinfo['lastvisit']);

and change to

	$newsince = $hitsince = ($links_defaults['days_seen_on_portal'] ? TIMENOW-intval($links_defaults['days_seen_on_portal'])*24*60*60 : $vbulletin->userinfo['lastvisit']);

find

	if ($links_defaults['show_hp_new']) {
		$query = ldm_get_specialsearchsql($NEW_CAT, $linksee, "", $catids);
		list($links['show_hp_new'], $hits) = ldm_get_entrybits_brief($query, $linksee, $template);
		$showme = ($hits ? 1 : $showme );
	}

and change to

	if ($links_defaults['show_hp_new']) {
		$query = ldm_get_specialsearchsql($NEW_CAT, $linksee, "", $catids, $newsince);
		list($links['show_hp_new'], $hits) = ldm_get_entrybits_brief($query, $linksee, $template);
		$showme = ($hits ? 1 : $showme );
	}

I think that will fix things. Please confirm.
