Hi, I was just about to assign a feature request to HTML Template_Flexy but I can't because We can not allow you to continue since your IP has been marked suspicious by the http://projecthoneypot.org/, if that was done in error then please contact pear-dev@lists.php.net as well as the projecthoneypot people to resolve the issue. When looking up my current IP (88.66.235.40) at http://projecthoneypot.org it says This IP has not seen any suspicious activity within the last 3 months. This IP is most likely clean and trustworthy now. (This record will remain public for historical purposes, however.) To be more precise, the last (and AFAICS only) report is more than 7 months old. In fact the IP is part of the dynamic IP pool of Arcor AG, Germany (a german ISP), assigned to DSL dial-up connections. I don't think it is a good idea to include dynamic IP pools to blocking lists at all, especially if they are that old. Chances are high that the whole IP pool will get blocked because of one SPAM idiot who reconnects (thus gets a randomly new IP) after every SPAM attempt. Either do a better checking against the blacklist or rm the whole thing from bugs.php.net -- Gruß/ Best regards, Jo Schulze ---------------------------------------------------------------------- feuersee software GmbH * Senefelderstraße 19a * D-70178 Stuttgart info@feuersee.de * +49 711 6154346 * http://www.feuersee.de Reg.gericht Stuttgart * HRB 19317 * USt. Id 195 473 444 Geschäftsführer: * Joachim Schulze
