[Fle3-users] Re: Links

[pashby]

Hello again

Well I can repeat this on three different installs - server, laptop and PC

The version of Cruft.py is 1.35

I've upgraded on the PC to the latest WebtopLink.py but it makes no difference 
as you said.

I have rights in all folders.

A test user has the same problem with its webtop.

Everything is there except the link.

I get no error messages.

The link is deactivated but it does not say that it is removed.

It is strange that it works on your install - I have the latest FLE and the two 
updates.

What can I do to assist?
