    My site is still 2.6.1. I've been reluctant to upgrade because I was afraid of losing all my links etc. Last year email notification stopped working. But it still worked okay, then my host migrated servers a month ago and things went to hell. It's real slow now, often can't get on at all and it times out, when I post it goes all white on me and just stops. Readers are complaining they can't get to it. I've gotten various messages but today I got this:

    "Fatal error: Maximum execution time of 60 seconds exceeded in \\boswinfs03\home\users\web\b304\whl.caroljm36\wp-includes\category.php on line 16"

    I've been going back and forth with the hosting site all this time, but could this really be happening due to the old WP version?

    Possibly. Your site could also have been hacked - a real risk when you're running an older version of WP. I'd suggest you consider upgrading asap via a manual upgrade to 2.7 then a auto-upgrade to 2.9.2.
