 * This is a great plugin! Thank you for developing it!
 * Hello, I have the plugin installed in WP Multisite. I exported a bunch of links
   from one blog and now want to import them to another blog. Without any modifications
   I tried to import the same file exported by the plugin to the new blog with the
   plugin. It says 12 links imported but no links show up. I tried to export with
   different delimeter and importing with keeping and deleting existing links but
   it never imports the links.
 * Original export is from the plugin itself and the file is not modified after 
   export.

 * Thank you very much. Sure no problem. Let me know if you need any more info from
   my end. Great plugin and thank you very much for the free to use version. I am
   sure I’ll go for the basic subscription when my site gets off the ground.

 * Hello. I have tried different setups on the work environments but I was not able
   to replicate your issue. The import/export works fine. I am able to export links
   from one sub-site and import them in another. Can you send me the exported file
   in question to contact [at] autoaffiliatelinks [dot] com ?

 * Hi Again,
 * Now I have tried to manually add links to other blogs in my multisite and after
   saving the links simply disappear. What I have done is, use Keyword suggestion
   to load the list of keyworkds, click on them and add the link and click on save.
   When I come back to the same blog and go to Affiliate Links there is nothing!
   The links I added are simply gone.
 * Only place with the links still appearing is the very first blog I added the 
   very first links, all other links I manually added this time are now gone …
 * Not sure whats wrong, but looks like the issue is not just importing, looks like
   it is some bug in multisite installations where data is not getting saved properly
   in proper tables for example … Happy to give you debug info if you ask for what
   you need to troubleshoot.

 * Thank you for the input. I am not sure what is happening, but it seems that something
   got hanged somewhere. I will try to see if I an replicate this. The very first
   blog you installed the plugin is the main site or it is a child site too ?

 * Hi there, no problem, glad to be help and would like to see this work so I can
   use it to its full potential. Yah, the “master” blog where I exported the links
   is actually a child blog and I am trying to import the file to another child 
   blog The master blog is a different one. I have activated the plugin for the 
   whole network from the network plugin manager.

 * I found that there is a problem with network activation. If I activate the plugin
   on each site, it works, if I use the network activation, it is not working. I
   am trying to come with a fix for this issue.

 * Hello. Can you please update to the latest version and try to network deactivate
   and network reactivate the plugin. Let me know if it works.
