OK - I turned off the sponsorship for premium link type and now it shows.
Could this be to do with the fact that I am running a free version of the forum, which doesn't have sponsorship available, and that I have integrated the links with the forum?
If that is the problem is there any way round it other than have to pay for the forum?
Even though I have turned off the sponsorship and premium type can now be selected when suggesting a link those links that are of premium type are not showing in the category. The template is correct (was working before) and premium type is definitely in there.

What's IIRC?
With a premium link my members do not have to have a reciprocal link. If they cannot choose "premium" when submitting the form defaults to reciprocal and demands a reciprocal link on their site.
There is also the fact that I can't see the premium type either when I am logged in as admin, so how can you select it at all?
So, presumably I will have to manually input the options on the template and not rely on <select name="type">{TYPEOPTIONS}</select>???

Seems it doesn't show it as admin, I remember it used to but perhaps I got fed up with all the support forum threads where people kept saying that sponsorship was broken because it was allowing directly submitting to the sponsored types.

Well that's a problem. Perhaps you should use a distinct template if you want these distinct types of submissions, and force the premium submission template to the premium type.
As for manually inputing the options would do the same thing, I don't know if it would foward to the sponsor page after that.

Reinstalled WSN Links onto a new server. Everything seems to be fine so far EXCEPT that not all the link types are showing.
In Link Settings for official names I have: premium,recip,club
For Display names I have: Premium,Reciprocal,Club
But when you suggest a link only Reciprocal and Club show up.

IIRC only admins can submit to a sponsored link type. Other people are of course supposed to click the sponsorship option to get into it.

If I recall correctly.
