Only just noticed that it is no longer removing the links that have expired. It used to, but am not sure whether it is since upgrading after 4.1..25 or .26

What do you have selected for "When links expire, they should be:"? Hidden, deleted or hard-deleted?

Can't now remember why I put hidden instead of delete! So I have now changed this to delete. I regenerated the links, just in case that did it, but nope - they are still there. The oldest is 13th Jan, so I guess it was when I upgraded to 4.1.25 that it stopped hiding them.

The hourly cron, crons/hourly.php, hides/deletes the expired links. There've been no changes at all to it between 4.1.17 and 4.1.26: http://www.wsnforum.com/filecomparison/comparison... (There was a change in 4.1.27, but this obviously isn't related.) Tested and it's working for me. Your crons page does show three crons? Edited by Paul on 01/19/08 - 08:41 PM

OK, this is strange because it is now working again, although I haven't touched it! But between 13th and 19th of Jan it had stopped deleting them. Oh well, at least it appears to be working fine now.
