Links permissions problem

[Rinzwind]

I have a problem setting up correct permissions.

I want to give members the option to add links and edit or delete there own. This isn't working.
You can give mebmers edit or delete permissions in the admin section, however if you select those every member can edit all links! Even if I gave other permissions at the Links category edit panel.

What did I wrong?

That's how it currently works.

Then there's a misleading label placed at the edit categories screen. It says "Edit own links" and "Delete own links".
I already found it strange that in the permissions screen there was no mentioning of the word "own".

Hello all,

I am new to this forum and new to SMF & SMF Links so if someone could help me figure out my permission problems, I would be so very appreciative! Thanks in advance...

Here's my situation. I have installed SMF and I am running the ORANGE-LT theme and have also installed SMF Links successfully but even though I have figured out how to add the Links button to the top navigation, setup link categories from the admin section, set permissions on the categories, etc. it is not working for any accounts that are not admins.

When you click links as a guest, you are taken to a login page informing you that you must be a registered member to access this section even though I set the permission of guests to "view".

Also, when a regular user logs in and clicks the links button, they get "An Error Has Occurred!" instead of the links section.

Administrators can see the links mod just fine, and make any and all changes. It's just that the permissions manager in the links mod don't seem to be doing anything at all, really. Any help? Am I missing something?

Thanks for any assistance,
