4/20/2024 News from the Webmaster, David Cox [email protected].
Well, this morning was the fourth time in the last week that my hosting company suspended this account. For my users, I am sorry for this continuing problem. As a note on this, there is another plugin, catlist, and I have disabled it also to try to see if we can do things without getting suspended again. But I have to hand-type the code to use this plugin in each post (the site has 2000 posts at present), so, being deactivated, this hand written code will appear as text in the posts with the word "catlist...", so please ignore it. I will remove that in the future or return it to working when the site is stable again. -- DCox
