 * I fixed this by using the standard loop and not a page template and then setting
   my front page to static. Still curious as to why this wouldn’t work only in Windows.

 * Any luck with this Melanie? I sent the dev an e-mail as well but haven’t heard
   back. I see there are responses to other issues after this one.

 * I figured it out so I thought I’d post back here. I’m sure there’s a better way
   but here goes:
 *     ```
       <?php
       $current_parent = $post->ancestors; // Get parent's ID
       $current_page = $post->ID; // Get current page's ID
       shuffle(query_posts(array('post__not_in'=>array($current_page), 'post_parent'=>$current_parent[0], 'post_type'=>page, 'posts_per_page'=>-1)));
       	while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>
       		<a href='<?php the_permalink(); ?>'>
       		<?php echo "<div class='suggestions'>";
       		echo "<img src='" . get_post_meta($post->ID, 'product_image_lg', true) . "' />";
       		echo "<p class='popcorn_id'>";
       		echo "<span>#";
       		echo get_post_meta($post->ID, 'product_id', true);
       		echo "</span> - ";
       		echo the_title();
       		echo "</p>";
       		echo "</div>"; ?>
       		</a>  <!-- end suggestions -->
       	<?php endwhile; wp_reset_query();
       ?>
       ```
   
 * First I get the IDs of the current page and it’s parent page. Then use query_posts()
   based on those two findings, shuffle the results and display.

 * Thanks ColorVilla. Unfortunately I’m so new I don’t know how to implement that.
   I’m looking for either the code or a really good tutorial.
