I don't know how Google Webmaster Tools picks sitelinks, but it could use some help - some are good, some are not.

But there is a bigger issue. Whenever I click on a "Block" radio button, it will NOT block the choice selected, but it does block EVERY OTHER CHOICE BELOW IT.

For instance, if I try to block Choice #3, choices #4 through #8 get blocked. This needs to be fixed.

Firefox 3.6.13

Here's what happens for me. I'm also using Firefox 3.6.13 and at first I thought it was what you described, but then I realized the situation is not as it first appears.

When I block #3 a new div is opened up just below that position on the page - for dialog about my choice and so on. This pushes choice #4 through #8 further down the page and they are not visible until I scroll. However, they are not also blocked - those choices just moved.

The flaky, non-intuitive behavior has scared me off - let sleeping dogs lie.

I don't want to screw up the good selections they made, so I am just going to leave well enough alone. It just isn't worth it to me to see them all disappear, by messing with them.

I can't figure it out, and I will not keep trying.
It was hard enough, to get them to display ANY sitelinks before. I'll let others experiment. Too iffy for me. I'll settle for what they give me, although one choice was very poor, with 4 other choices being much more appropriate (more and better content, many backlinks, far more popular).

No matter how many times I tried to block sitelink #7, it only resulted in allowing me to block sitelink #8, which I don't want to do.

Ahh, tedster, yes, yes.

I'm a little slow. I figured it out from your comments.
I get frustrated too easily with some things.
Too afraid of being bitten by so many things, because I have been bitten by so many things.
Thanks.
