I have noticed some things happening recently that lead me to ask some questions.
1a. If you are subscribed to follow WUWT via email, where you get emails advising you of new posts, are you still getting those emails? For example, a notice of this post?
1b. If you aren’t receiving those emails, are they in your SPAM filter?
2. If you are subscribed to WUWT via RSS feed, are you still able to read it in the reader of your choice?
3. Are you getting any sorts of SPAM, phishing, or “unsafe” website notices for any links that might be embedded in those emails or feeds?
Please leave answers yes/no in comments.
The reason I ask is that WordPress recently flagged WUWT as a high traffic site, and added extra advertising, for which I get a few cents per click. But, at the same time I’m wondering if that has come with a penalty in the form of a raised SPAM score due to that extra advertising.
As always, thanks for visiting and thanks for your support. – Anthony

WUWT is my home page.
No unsafe notices for any links. I use your sidebar links to get to other skeptic sites as well as the luke warmers and the Carbon Cult sites.
Hope you’re making enough from ad revenue to take your sweetheart out for dinner once in a while.
1a. Yes, 1b. n/a, 2. n/a, 3. no.
Located my problem Anthony. A few googleapis were flagged and blocked. That removed the hang. One entry under wp.com though, devicepx causes a stack overflow at line 0 if *not* disabled… have no idea what is causing that quirk. Only thing I have to clear up is “Unknown Zone” coming up on WUWT pages recently… I equate that to spam. Have a feeling it’s google again.
1a. Yes and yes.
1b. Haven’t had anything sent to the spam filter.
