Hey everyone. Just wanted to let you know, that I will be on vacation from 7/29 thru 8/7. Any addons that need updating, just place a post in the topic. I will check tonight, and try to get everything that I can updated before I leave. :welcome:

Guys, we have gotten WAY Off Topic here. Anything further not on the original topic of Lego being away for awhile while he moves houses, please start another topic. Cheers and Regards

OpenID login methond has been removed from WinCert.net for the reasons mentioned in post on robrohan.com web site: This blog has been having some serious uptime problems, but with our move and starting our new jobs, I haven't had time to look into the problem. At completely random times the server would just spin out of control as if it was under a denial of service attack.

200[/size][/font][/color] What they were doing – I think – is using the OpenID authentication form and putting in the site they wanted to increase traffic to as the authority / verification site. OpenID would then try to verify them. The transaction would fail of course, but not before registering a hit on the fake verification site. I shudder to think at how many porn and gambling sites now have my site in their log files. It's no wonder I've been getting a huge increase in spam lately. Sigh. Needless to say, OpenID comments are no longer allowed here. (There could of course be other problems, but this was definitely not helping. Since I've turned it off, the server seems much more snappy.)
