I expect to be around most of the day, but I’m slowed down again. I don’t know what it is between TomCats and meeses, but my 2nd mouse in 5 weeks gave up the ghost. So I’m using that dang touchpad again. 🙁

I completed today’s Jigzone puzzle (with the touchpad) in 8:02 (Yuck!!). To do it, Click Here. How did you do?

Here’s some humor.

HB, I'm pleased to see that someone looks at these open threads once in a while. 🙂

Sorry, the comment form is closed at this time.

PHP is a programming language used to build websites. We have it at all through our hosting partner, BlueHost. In order to update it, we have to go through Bluehost. During his life, TomCat was the only one who had access to our account there. I (JD) am now the only one. I have been to BlueHost and investigated updating our PHP to 8.3 or even to 8.1. I found instructions to do so - in fact, I found two conflicting sets of instructions. I went through one set of the steps and got the message that Our site could not handle 8.3, but that it had successfully updated to 8.1. I then went back here to see what it looked like. But I couldn't get in - either as an administrator or as a reader. It was just gone. I had to reach BlueHost by phone. It was determined that Politics Plus is in fact not compatible with any version of PHP newer than the one we have. BlueHost therefore uninstalled it for me, and the site came back to normal. Of course, like everyone else, I care about security. But I also am aware that TomCat elected to use different providers for several of the services that BlueHost provides, for instance backups. We are backed up daily - but not by BlueHost. However, out PHP is through Bluehost. I feel that if they are not worried about the older version, I am not going to worry about it. I believe that our security here is all or mostly through WordFence, whom I trust.
