Seek N Link Annoucement

Hello Everyone,

Thanks everyone for visiting Seek N Link. I noticed that there have been a lot of people, that have been surfing Surflinks Section already. Surflinks is not quite done, I have ran into some problems, during the building of Surflinks in my haste to get this system done. Some things I forgot to think about was the file structure. The way the file structure is for the A-Z links in Surflinks, makes it very hard to add links/sites from the different categories and put them in that order. Meaning if someone submits a link in say "Business", it would be very difficult to insert that link into Surflinks, where the B's Links are because I would have to number all the files after that link I inserted. That is why I need to redo Surflinks, Don't worry it will stay the way it is right now, until I start uploading all the new files. I will be adding a folder for each letter or category from each of Links, and Public Links Sections. Having folders allows me to add links right into different sections of Surflinks.

Surflinks will have sections with the same letters, or categories as Links, or Public Links Sections do. When these links/sites are in folders named for each section, this will let me add links/sites faster and more efficiently, also makes it feel like there are not that many files I have to edit at one time. Seeing a lot of files in one folder and knowing you have to edit all of them (over 300 files), after about half way through you forget which one you were doing, or what you were doing, :) and start messing up. When I start adding links/sites in each folder they will be the last of in that folder. Meaning if you submit a link in Public Links under the category "Business". Then your link will be the last business link in the Business Section in Surflinks Section. Sorry everyone, needed to try to explain how the links will go into Surflinks. Hope Everyone understands, lol :)

I am sorry everyone that this announcement is a long one, needed to keep everyone updated, :) I have already have Playstation Game Sites, PC Game Sites, and Public Links Sections in there own folders, but still need to do A-Z section of Links Section.:)

This process is needed to be able to seamlessly include a chat, that will pop out from the right side with a click of either a button or a link. The Chat is up and running, you can visit it here: http://www.seeknlink.byethost13.com/surflinks/surflinkslinks/Chat/. The integration of this chat into Surflinks Section will take some time to setup, please be patient, in the meantime, you can still surf Surflinks here: http://www.seeknlink.byethost13.com/surflinks/surflinkslinks/, until the new one is finished. Sorry Everyone, but I noticed some people submitted link to Public Links Section, but as of this time, I am still not adding anymore links to Links and Public Links Sections until this process in finished. The people who submitted there links will not be accepted until the process in complete. Be sure to check Seek N Link frequently, for updates as to when I will be adding your links again. Thanks Everyone for your patience and support.

I notice I also forgot to put in a drop down menu to go to the specific page not just the site. I also forgot a back button, in-case you saw something on the previous site, and wanted to go back. I will be adding these features, when I do the process described above. This whole process might take up to few weeks to complete.

In my last Seek N Link Announcement I talked about switching Seek N Link's site format(site structure) to a new one. This Idea is still up in the air. If this process described above works out, I might decide to just stay with the format I have. I will be also putting a poll on either the left or right side bars(or left navigation, and right sponsored links, frames). I don't know when I will have this poll up and running, just wanted to let everyone know about it.

I know the Bookmark this page link is not working, I am having trouble with it, not sure if anyone else is having trouble with it.

That all I can think of right now, thanks everyone for stopping by.
