BellaB~ and NinjaLinks Updates

I’ve started updating every one of my scripts so that I can push important bug fixes and updates before Christmas, giving me time to relax and work on a few other things.

Quick Question

Is my site slow as shit for everyone else recently, or is it just me? Thanks everyone. Must just be me. Bugger.
