    PayPal has done some recent change it seems and many phpLD directories are getting a 'Invaild Link ID' warning on the return page when the customer returns to the site from PayPal.
    It is not an error with the phpLD script but some change that PayPal made.

    Dawzz at phpLD made a fix for this that applies to all versions of the phpLD script.
    Info and the patch can be found here: http://www.phplinkdirectory.com/forum/showthread.php?t=16093

    Everyone running the phpLD script offering paid submissions should read the post by Dawzz and check and patch their paypal.tpl I have noticed many sites returning that error in the last few days so everyone should check their sites and patch if needed.

    Right about closing input. Should be valid - not so important.

    However I noticed even forcing 'get' method may not work on directories using more than 1 return url (for example ads). Can be different.
    We must wait until PayPal clear that.
