 * I can’t delete links or users or posts in a new install of 1.5. I am logged in
   to the Admin login. I can edit them all, and add new ones but can delete none.
 * I get the pop up confirmation of deletion and clicking ‘okay’ or ‘cancel’ does
   nothing. The page does not refresh. On manual page refresh all links/users/posts
   still exist.
 * Using Firefox but there is no pop up or anything being blocked. Everything seems
   pretty standard and working correctly except that the items are not being deleted
   from the database.

 * Is it possible your MYSQL account (i.e. the one provided in wp-config.php) doesn’t
   have DELETE privileges on the database?

 * I just double checked but there is only one user on the MySQL account. It is 
   the one wordpress logs on to. it has full access to all tables in the database.

 * it seems to work in IE but not Firefox. I can’t figure out why though.

 * it took a couple of restarts but firefix now seems to be working. Guess firefox
   is just still kinda buggy.
