In reply to: pingback query – pinged myself?Pingbacks, when activated, allow WP to search your post for all outside links. It will then attempt to “send a ping” to the URL’s including your own if you have linked to one of your posts.
They will show up as comments the same as trackbacks. The only way to stop them is to deactivate them as you have done. Note: that will only stop them from going out, any pings received will be displayed.
Personnely I think pingbacks are a pain in the rear. They only slow the publ;ish function because they “ping” URLS such as links to newspaper articles or other URLS’s that won’t accept pings.
Trackbacks on the other hand allow you choose when to use them.

In reply to: Comment QuicktagsThanks Podz. I just fixed the problem, sort of.
I just switched comment quicktag plugins to one by Thomas Montague. It is a variation of Winklers but for some reason it allows the sidebar to display correctly.
I found the new plugin at the Plugin Competition Blog.
Thanks

The instructs are for using the cSS inline but you could just add it as a class in your style sheet.
You could also try this method, that would add a drop shadow to your image.

In reply to: How long does trackback take?Trackback speed is based on server speed, both yours and the destinations URL.
In the vast majority of cases (95%?) it takes just seconds.(15 or less)
On the other side of the coin the destination URL must allow trackbacks. For some reason it may be disabled or they are directed to a moderation que to be reviewed and manually approved.
I have heard from various sources that MSN Spaces does have a problem with TB’s which fits in with that entire system that is mostly junk, in my opinion.

In reply to: Headline images plugin .Well your correct. If you have a problem with a plugin your first choice should be the author of that plugin.
As is offen the case answers can be found here also. I checked your site and see no borders around your image headlines, in IE6 and FF.
Did you find a solution?If not and it is a problem in a different browser try adding this to your style sheet.
.title a img {
border: none;
}
