pagerank problem

[lithman]

I search the forums, but couldn't find a solid answer.

Url: http://www.sportslinkup.com
version: 3.0.5

Someone submits a link, I accept it, link shows up in directory with a N/A PR. I read in previous topics that google bans servers from getting PR from pages? Yet I see directories that show PR. I can manually put in a PR in the admin panel. If I click on a link in admin to edit it, it will show PR -1

PR is enabled in the directory admin area.

So, what is the question exactly?

This problem has come up before.
Essentialy, google does not allow pagerank queries from your server.
So you dowlnload a tool, and it runs the ueries from your home ocomputer which isn't blocked by gogle ;)

go to this thread: http://www.phplinkdirectory.com/forum/showthread.php?t=1250&highlight=pagerank
then PM david asking for the tool.
I think he sells it for 10/25 dollars

I just installed Version 3.05 on a site and SERVER that had previously been running Version 2.
With the new 3.05 install I no longer get Google PR ratings to show as I did with version 2. So I have a hard time believing that its Google rejecting the server when it worked fine before?

Something in the code keeps defaulting the -1 into the PR submission box even when it is left blank which should cause an automatic PR check by the script which it is not doing.

Can someone please check this and not just give us the "buy and use the computer "TOOL" sales pitch... please?
