I'm not happy with the way I've written this part of the code - using forum permissions seems the right way to handle things, but I suspect that the default situation should be to give automatic access to all links. What do you think?

When I say all the settings have been set to -1...

By default, after this upgrade, the new setting (default_forumid) is set to -1 - well after running the local_links_install.php, the rest of the entries in the admin table also had the value -1, causing a major failure of the Admin script - so much so that the admin page now looks like this - (screenshot attached) ...

Any suggestions ?
