The Basic List O' Links is about 1 hour from completion. Stay tuned.

It looks great Ryan, the links are matched with separate topics and sub topics making it faster to find threads. I also like the new window when opening threads as I tend to jump back and forth when I refer to them if leaving information for people.

Takes a lot of work to insert links in a normal thread, much less one with so many threads inserted.

Great job as usual.

I didn't try ALL of the threads but the ones I used work fine BTW

Ryan thanks for everthing, the O'Link are so handy and you've improved them by creating categories and sub categories and this makes it much easier!

It takes a long time to insert links and do something like this, thanks!

Does the new 2.0 version have Hydrophobic Polymer Technology? Or maybe it's machine washable?!?! Seems like everything is getting an update.

Great work Ryan! I'll have to take some time and catch up on my reading.
