Is there an easy way to get rid of the updated links on the new page?

I've changed the $updated_limit = 0 in the setting.php file. Now it displays the correct number of links, but the updated links themselves are still showing.

I have managed to get various results by editing the SQL queries in link.class.php, but I still haven't managed to get the count and link display to match up.

If there's not an easy way, perhaps someone can point me in the right direction as to where I can make the last_updated field in the database stay as "0000-00-00 00:00:00" even when I update a link.

Thanks,
Mandi
