# link interface bug? Can't add links or categories

 * I had a site I was working on ages ago which had been started using WP 2.8 I 
   think. However only 1 post was added & a theme applied and no more work was done.
 * I am now developing the site and upgraed to WP 3.2.1 before continuing.
 * I added a link category and a link within that link category (ensuring I did 
   actually hit the add link button) and placed the links widget on the sidepanel,
   however the Links widget dropdown does not contain my new category.
 * So I go back to the links page and it says I have no links (not even the default
   blogroll links) ie the links table is empty with the filter set to view all categories.
 * When looking at the links category page the blogroll indicates it has 7 links.
   The other category I added indicates it has no links (despite me attempting to
   add a link twice to this category)
 * I am using chrome but have also tried the same thing on firefox 3.6.18 with identical
   results.
 * I have also disabled all plugins
 * Can anyone confirm this is a bug – anyone have a similar problem?

 * I also turned off my theme & used the 2011 default, but I didn’t think this would
   make much difference as it is the admin interface that seems to be the problem.
 * Has no one had trouble with the link manager since 3.2.1

 * You’re not the only one who’s experiencing problems with links. I updated just
   an hour ago and all of a sudden I’m not able to insert a link in my posts.
 * More precisely, when I insert a link in a new post, it won’t display. It still
   remains in the post content and I can see it and edit it, but nonetheless, it
   won’t show in the preview, home page or the post itself.
 * Funny thing, though, my old posts from previous versions of wordpress with links
   in them are just fine. Only new ones are problematic.
 * I also tested link categories and the same issues as yours appear, too.
