   I don't seem to be getting the >> << around recently updated links. Am I doing something wrong, or is it something to do with the linked sites?

   You also need to make sure the links-update-cache.xml file under /wp-content/ is writable (chmod 766).
   Note that's links-update-cache.xml not link-update-cache.xml

   ok, that's one thing I didn't do. It's now done, but I'm still not seeing updated links get flagged (I waited until one got updated to make sure :)). Is there something else I've missed?
   BTW, is there a reason the file is set to owner executable?

   No idea about permissions, but are the other links pinging weblogs.com (or pingomatic which covers weblogs.com) ?
   If not, they won't move.

   I'm having the same problem. With 1.0 you could uncomment some lines in index.php, I'm not seeing those anymore. I also tried installing Carthik's Update Linkroll Plugin, but that seems to break something. Any other ideas?

   Well, it seems to be working now. It looks like inserting
   include_once(ABSPATH.WPINC.'/links-update-xml.php');
   in line 4 of index.php did the trick.

   Thanks, I've added that line. Now I'm tapping my foot waiting for one of my linked blogs to do an update to see if it works ;)

   Where do you insert the:

   include_once(ABSPATH.WPINC.'/links-update-xml.php');

   Thanks!

   You could just do a cron job. No need to run the file on every page load.

   As for where to put it, you can put it just about anywhere, index, footer, sidebar, wherever.

    I finally did just do a cron job. It seems the plugin I was using to update my linkroll doesn't work with V1.5. Thanks Beel!

    What I would like to do now is change the symbols that show up on my recently updated blogs. Any idea how to do that??

    In the link options

    I have scoured my link options. I see no where to change what shows up when your linkroll reads are updated.

    Well I'll be! You may have found an ommission. I hadn't changed anything in my links in the past couple of upgrades so I didn't realize it was missing.

    If you have access to the database you can enter the link to your link image in "links_recently_updated_append" in wp-options. If you want characters to surround the link you can enter one there and one in "links_recently_updated_prepend"

    Okay, I'm still learning to work with my WP database. I'm currently in wp-options but not sure where to go now Beel. Can you offer some more assistance? I would really appreciate it!
