for some stange reason (on differing installs with different hosts etc) i have noticed "Category selector on 'Suggest Link' page" in switches turning it's self off.
By this i mean that i can turn it on.. browse arround admin come back and it's still on.. but go to add a cat or link and right after its disabled again?! (seems to happen when there are a large number of base cats, either that or i just notice more?)
is it possible you can give me a way to disable this?
As a possible feature suggestion separate the disabling for the admin area from the public area or possibly even assign it to something in membergroups so that it can be enabled for say admins only?
the reason being is the sites that have had this issue do not make use of the selector in the template on the public side of the site and are normaly hosted on there own dedicated servers so guest performace is not really a issure here.
failing that..(quck after thought) i rember a feature in phpbb for managing users where you would need to type the uers name to edit them, basicly what would happen is that you would get a box much like ID that. you would get a image or a link next to it, clicking that launches a small new window with a search in it. when you find and click the name of the person you want the small window auto closes and populates the ID box with the ID of the user... would this not be a intresting way of doing it??

the same thing happen to me too. It was driving me crazy, so in the end I just removed the other code from the template to only keep the selector.

There is a feature that turns it off when you have too many categories, so that the page will load in reasonable time.

In 3.3.8, add $overridesafety = true; to your config.php.
