 * I activated the plugin, set all relevant options, verified server load limit 
   etc..
    The plugin does not find any broken links, however I know that there are
   some broken/301/302 links.

 * Does it find no broken links, or no links at all? Check _Tools -> Broken Links-
   > All_ – do any links show up? Also, on the plugin settings page, click “Show
   debug info” and see what it says about sync. records.

 * hi Janis
    Thanks for the reply,
 * I have I found the problem,
    both run_in_dashboard / run_via_cron options were
   not selected by default.
 * I turned them on and now the links are coming up at Tools -> Broken Links -> 
   All.
 * Maybe it would be better to have at least the run_in_dashboard option selected,
   or make it more visually prominent.

 * Hmm, I’m not sure what could cause that. They’re both supposed to be enabled 
   by default. I just tested it by installing BLC on a test site and the options
   were enabled.
