I see that there was a forum discussion about this 4 months ago. Maybe this is a glitch that comes up from time to time. Is anyone else having this problem?
For my last two hubs, there were *no* suggested links. One of the articles is about enhancing photos. The other is about religion. I don't for a minute believe that there are no HubPages about photography or religion. I can seek out hubs on these topics and research how to turn words into hub links, but the suggested links tool should be providing me with suggestions. I *want* to link to other hubs, out of a sense of community, as well as for self-interest. Is there a specific procedure for asking for help with technical problems? I've tried asking before and gotten no response. Your advice is welcome.
Okay, I just got the suggested links to work. I see now that the tool is working differently from the way it did before. Before, possible links would be highlighted. Now the highlighting results from my dragging my mouse over a word or phrase. I liked the old way better because I was able to check out the articles that I might want to link to without leaving my hub page. Now I have to use the search box to read the suggested articles to verify that they're appropriate and well-written. Does anyone know why they changed the tool? And am I missing a shortcut by which I can check out the suggested articles while remaining on my hub page?
They changed the tool because people were blindly over-using it and I guess it wasn't doing what the wanted. HubKarma in general seems to be getting de-emphasized.
Well, I can see how that could happen and so can follow the reasoning behind the change. However, it would have been nice if they'd kept the feature of being able to read the other person's article without having to use the search box. Thanks for your reply!

I noticed what appears to be an automatically generated link in one of my Pethelpful articles. I didn't add it, and I can't get rid of it. I can't even see it in edit mode. Even if I delete the word, it just adds a new link at the next instance of that word.It links out to another Pethelful article...

When I click on the suggest links for new hubs, I get one or two words highlighted in the first paragraphs and that's it. I also can't highlight my own words or phrases to turn them into a link. I have a lot of hubs, now that can't be linked to any other hubs on HP. Anything...

Have noticed over the past couple of days, I'm getting lots of broken links from photos in my articles, so everyone may want to double check for those black little triangles.

For those of us who are testing out the new suggested links tool on Hubpages, what do you think to it?I have only been messing around with it for an hour, however I have to admit I am pretty impressed, it seems to provide a much simpler way to link to other hubs, especially when you previously had...

My Hub, Anatomy of a Miracle has the message, "WARNING: This hub has a large number of tags."Come on, guys and gals. You asked for us to use "Suggested Links" to improve our Hub Karma, and now you're talking about dinging us for doing this?I checked over my links and as far as I...
