# Error: Link already exists

 * As always – AWESOME plugin!! Thank you!
 * I have a user submission form for a crowd-sourced list of items for sale on the
   web. However, sometimes the titles end up being the same – even though the listing
   is different.
 * It looks like Link Library is not allowing a new link to be submitted if the 
   TITLE is the name, rather than the URL being the same.
 * When you try to submit a link with the same TITLE, the user gets this error: “
   Error: Link already exists” – even though the LINK doesn’t already exist, but
   the TITLE does.
 * Is there an option I’m not seeing to have Link Library check the LINK for duplicates,
   rather than the TITLE?
 * Thanks so much!
