** 1.56 beta withdrawn ** We found a bug which hits only some users and produces invisible categories.

Attached, find the first beta for release 1.56. This is a 'tidying up' release, completing (I hope) the phrasing throughout the main and admin scripts. It also adds a few features that have been requested recently:

- (Slave) addlink script accepts optional url=, name=, description= parameters to allow scripted new link creation
- (Chings) optional admin timeout parameter added to prevent multiple hits in quick succession
- (Lizard King) two choices for the linkbit template, selected on the admin page. The new template uses a fieldset layout.

The main changes from 1.55b are in the admin script, giving better insight into category/forum associations and allowing you to download a csv file of hits when cleaning up the database. There are also two options for how category selection is handled within the addlink script (the existing pulldown menus and a fully expanded set of checkboxes).

The choice of template for linkbit and addlink are specified on the admin page.

I am separately uploading partially translated French and German xml phrase files. I'd be grateful if someone would go through these and translate the remaining English phrases (of course for any other languages too).

As always with a beta, bug reports appreciated
