The "Add Link to Site" page stops responding, and the link is not added when you try to add a new link to the Site Directory in a SharePoint Portal Server 2003 site

 

That saved me, because a day i wanted to change an attribute of an item on the Sites Directory at Sharepoint Portal 2003.

But when i clicked on the OK Button nothing happened.

It only became disabled and attributes were not changed.

 

 

 

 

 

Consider the following scenario. In a Microsoft Office SharePoint Portal Server 2003 portal site, you click Add Link to Site on the Sites page to add a new link to the Site Directory. On the "Add Link to Site" page, you specify the information that you want for the new link. Then, you click either OK or Cancel. In this scenario, the "Add Link to Site" page stops responding. Additionally, the link is not added to the Site Directory.
