Have been fixed. If you have outstanding issues with your categories or your blogroll please post using this format:

1. The URL of your blog.
2. A link to the post with incorrect categories (or)
3. Name of the blogroll or links that are missing.

Missing categories: Chu-sok, Korean Festival (link to the post: http://kbloginla.wordpress.com/2007/09/16/korean-festival/)

Missing blogroll: Los Angeles Korean Festival, URL: http://www.lakoreanfestival.com/. It should be under the Korean in LA category in my blogroll.

links to categories from my text widgets are not working on FireFox and invoke a download action when viewed on IE

You need to update your text widget.

Just added a new blog roll category – Provocation – and listed three blogs under it – Pharyngula, Austrian Economists, Feministing. Neither the category nor the links are appearing in my blogroll.

Should be fixed now.

None of the publications in “Компютри” is visible. Links in the same category are visible, though. I managed to fix most categories by exporting everything to WXR and then importing it back. Thanks in advance.

That category is now in the sidebar.

thanks for help.

Are those problems are normal to wordpress.com blog-hosting ?

No it’s just a problem from today, your links now show up in your blogroll.

thanks for keeping us updated and fixing bugs, guys!

you’re the best — part of the ‘Machines’ hive is restored now (thanks once again!), but everything nested below: http://options.wordpress.com/category/machines/computers/networks/internet/world-wide-web/web-20/weblog/weblog-hosting/ is not.

it’s actually a whole tree as well. for example there’s still missing a link to the “Global Tags” category in the sidebar.

I also use this link in my posts (to find all relevant posts on my blog), but it returns:
HTTP/1.1 404 Not Found

not sure if this related to the “CURRENT ISSUE: Categories and Links” (just don’t remember in this very moment how it was before the CURRENT ISSUE), so just in case (hope it won’t hurt too much):

category links on the backend Manage/Posts page in the ‘Categories’ column now are pointing into Global Tags pages, instead of showing all of the posts posted into particular category on my blog — which’d be consistent (from the point of UI usability) with an ‘Action’ done by a ‘View’ link for an individual post in the adjacent untitled column in the same row (same post ID).

category ‘Filter’ drop-down on the backend works just fine though!

Your links should redirect correctly now.

As mentioned in the above post, if a category is missing from a post I need a direct link to the post, not just a link to your blog home page. I’m deleting posts to this thread with not enough info to fix, so if you see your post gone please try again with more info.

The blogroll issue is fixed now, if you are still missing something in your blogroll just edit a link and it should show up.
