In reply to: .htaccess problemsI don’t know why it’s doing that, but that code basically means that people linking directly to your images (which is called: hotlinking) will get the nohotlink.jpe instead. Did you set up something like that in your web hosting account?

In reply to: WordPress 2.5 loading EXTREMELY slowYou’re welcome, and I misunderstood.
No, I don’t know what the admin warning might be, unless you’re using Internet Explorer and your settings cause it to warn you when scripts are running on a page. Beyond that, I don’t know.

In reply to: WordPress 2.5 loading EXTREMELY slowThe bjorksten.fi blog loaded for me in 2-3 seconds.
The shinnpark blog took quite a while, but I think that’s because the home page is almost 4MB, which is a huge download. Try optimizing your images — for instance, the Oishii image is 325K; resaving it (in Photoshop) at 60% quality brings it down to 93K, which is not nothing but quite a difference.
worldpeacepoll was not so bad, but the home page is about 1MB. Try cutting that down as you can.

In reply to: wordpress installing spyware?!I don’t see anything like that on that site, LuthienMoss. In fact, the page contains just an image, with a link to a fansite. ??
Moshu, I agree. While I like the new forums layout, the usability with respect to the appearance of links/visited links is gone.
I mean, if the links are a menu, then make them look the same always (except for the hover property, when you cursor over them). But if they’re a list of thread links, then make it clear which threads you’ve already visited.
Yes, I’m over-explaining this. 🙂

In reply to: WordPress.org Forum ProblemsThat’s interesting, appalbarry. I’ve been posting in the forums for years, and the upgrade caused no login problems whatsoever. Just not having a problem with it (and I’m using Opera).

In reply to: Internet Explorer Crashes when i go to WordPressI just tried in IE6 and had no issues.
You might try validating your code at http://validator.w3.org/ as there appear to be some errors in your coding. Although the W3.org validator doesn’t seem to like video embedding code (that’s just the way it is with the validator), fixing some of the other errors might help you out.

In reply to: I messed up on URL & Location-how do I fix it?You’d probably have to access the admin under the new URL you assigned.
Added: when making changes like this, it’s best to back up the database first.

In reply to: Post Photo ABOVE Title in Blog – HOW?I’m not sure you can do that without customizing WordPress, because the picture is part of the post. I’m guessing that you’d have to add another field for the picture, and then include the new field in your theme.

In reply to: Database and Site don’t match> Somehow there’s still a discrepancy btwn the db and the site though.
You might need to explain what the discrepancy is; otherwise, we’ll have to guess what’s happening.
