 * Can you give me an example of something you want to store in the large description
   field so I can try it in my test environment. I assume that regular posts in 
   polish are being stored correctly in your system?

 * Of course, the entire page is in Polish and here is ok. When I throw or Edit 
   text in a Link Large Description field, Polish characters are changing the sign“?”
 * ąęśćółńżźĄĘŚĆÓŁŃŻŹ – that all Polish characters after getting saved – ????ó????????
   Ó????

 * 1) There were actually two issues at play here. The link submission form did 
   not accept characters with UTF-8 encoding, and the field in the database was 
   not able to store them either. I have corrected both issues in version 5.9.10.3,
   available shortly. Please update, then deactivate and reactivate to trigger the
   database update code that will fix the back-end issue.
 * 2) For the thumbnail issue, are you generating the thumbnails in the link editor,
   or are you displaying thumbnails dynamically on your link page? If displaying
   dynamically, do you have the option called ‘Give priority to images assigned 
   to links if present’ checked under the Thumbnail tab? Have you ever generated
   a thumbnail for an image? Do you think that you are getting a robothumb image
   because a link has an image saying it came from robothumb, or are you see that
   in the image path when you examine the page source?

 * 1) Works! You are Big Man! RESOLVED
    2) Now I use robothumb in admin panel I 
   see thumbnails OK, but on site I see “Generated by Robothumb”. I check in /wordpress/
   wp-content/uploads/link-library-images/2.png and image generated is ok. I checked
   whether I have any cache plugin – none. I don’t understand… I try “Give priority
   to images assigned to links if present” – nothing changed…
 * If you want i can help you translate your plugin to polish language?

 * The file in the link-library-images directory only gets generated when you push
   the generate thumbnail button in the link edit page. If you want to switch service
   and re-generate, you need to configure for thumbshots, then re-press the button
   to generate. Or check the option to load images dynamically from service in the
   Thumbnail tab.
 * Thanks for the translation offer. Might make more sense to wait until later this
   year when version 6.0 is available as I will be making changes to the interface.
