edited link positions

@rbran100
Figured out how to add the date links at the top without the spacing parameter. Made a new PR. Can you pls merge this? thx
It's considered good practice to not return anything on a save operation except true or false. That the data is formatted by the save function would be unexpected. You also pass a few extra parameters into the function just for the formatter, which is clutter. It would be best to have this function just return true/false, and then run the format_data function in the previous function.
