check your punctuation on line 5. semi-colons and quotes are there for a reason.

In reply to: is this some new spam attack?you could try being less of a fscking asshole. clearly I’m still here because I’m concerned that you’ll sway the minds of other like-minded lazy spectators, so if nothing else, that earns me your tolerance.
you can’t replace new files in an upgrade, genius… as someone who isn’t nearly as selfish with his time as you are, I’ve been through enough of these things to see all kinds of additional files, modded files, hidden files, and obfuscated files.
How many of wordpresses files can you name? done a compare with what’s uploaded as compared with what’s in the zip? how about your plugins, no foreign files in there?
How the hell would you know? you haven’t even looked.
and honestly, if you did actually look at all that, then you’re more of a moron than I give you credit for, since clearing it out would have been miles faster.
for the record, it’s a unix command, some of us used the command line before it became cool.

In reply to: is this some new spam attack?NH I’m sorry the thought of this is so horrible for you, but there’s just no way to be certain that you’ve cleared it up until you wipe the lot.
Anyone reading this should consider this solution as effective as pain killers applied to a bullet wound. You may feel fine right now, but the real problem is probably still there.
All you’ve done is make it less noticable.
I can’t believe how resistant you are to this. Take a moment and ask yourself “if I were hacking something and could write to files, would I stop at changing just one really easily noticable one?”
(probably best if people don’t find this and instead jump straight to a solution that doesn’t rely on crossing fingers and hoping for the best – clearing out a wordpress install and reloading fresh plugins takes less than 20 minutes).

In reply to: Script Tag (AdSense) won’t save in Text Widget (WordPress Mu 2.5.1)that’s great but the Mu forum is here: http://mu.wordpress.org/forums/
I won’t tell them you couldn’t find the forum, if you don’t 😉

In reply to: Store your images?Cheers to you.
Be careful of the css rounded corners thing… cross-browser compatibility involves lots of extra markup… when typing it out, count every keypress and add it to the size of the image you just trimmed.
I don’t think its worth it – but it’s DEFINITELY worth it to investigate 🙂
good luck.

In reply to: Subtitle before title…Well, you’ve modified your template already, so try just using this, instead of what you have now:
<?php echo get_post_meta($post->ID, 'yourKeyNameHere', true); ?>that will just pull the value.
Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: Store your images?your site will work without them, but I’d suggest you don’t need to remove them, except in the case that you really *want* to, I thought for some reason you really wanted to.
I don’t think it’s worth hacking out though. There’s lightening, and then there’s going overboard…
I’m sure you can probably switch that stuff off with a filter… but since I don’t know how precisely, I’m gonna say leave it, or try your luck googling it.

In reply to: is this some new spam attack?wow, that last line really makes me want to be your friend so much right now.
now we wait and see how long until you get hit again.
for the record, it’s been over an hour since I first posted in this thread, and more than 3 since rosie posted.
fresh files would have solved this for you before I even got here… happy-dance yourself into a coma if you like, but it seems you really *do* have all this spare time after all.
See you again soon.
Like I said, let us know when you actually do rm -rf the lot.
Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: Store your images?yep, when you add it up, it is fairly chunky… but still, it seems like a pretty long time to wait for even that.
there is a way you can do that with a repeating background, but don’t overthink it…
with jpeg compression that gradient will take barely any additional space, and is *much* cheaper than an additional connection to pull the background plus the stock art.

In reply to: Subtitle before title…remove the key part?
I think you’re taking the code you saw on that page too literally… you have choices. Look at the other examples available there, and feel free to edit it a little.
Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: Store your images?the first two of those lines are not necessary, but the last one is a good idea to keep if you want to allow people to comment on your content
if you’ll be turning off comments for the whole site, then getting rid of that isn’t a problem either.
how big are those images being loaded by the flash thingy?
if they’re not very large, changing compression on them isn’t going to make an enormous difference to an initial load time THAT slow.
Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: Store your images?actually, upon reload the delay goes away, so it’s definitely something which is cached.
a) either the images in the flash thing are huge, or
b) the flash thing itself is huge, or
c) your host really sucks donkey balls.Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: Store your images?maybe it *is* just your host…
the flash stuff, is it yours, or a drop-in?… any chance that’s causing the delay? I wouldn’t put it down to images unless you had a mile of scrolling going on, which you don’t.
Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: is this some new spam attack?hey NH… please be big enough to come back here when you finally decide to rm -rf the whole lot. I just want to know how long it takes for an otherwise intelligent person to actually take the advice they came here asking for.
(oh and be sure to look for perl files too, a popular choice of drop-in back doors)
Don’t say I didn’t help.

In reply to: Store your images?I don’t know why you’d avoid linking your site directly… but it doesn’t mater.
Its a very snazzy design, but quite heavy on extras, not just images.
It does load slowly, but I wonder if its the graphics, or whether it’s just really heavy on queries. I’ve tried out a couple of plugins which blew my queries out from 50 to over 400 on the front page, despite the plugin trigger actually not being required on the front page.
Do you know how many queries you’re throwing out? If not, you’ll find a code snippit in the footer of the default wordpress theme which will output the count along with a timer. Kind of handy during dev.
