Comment (by c960657):

 The patch is an attempt to solve the problem. It modifies weblog_ping() to
 return an error message. Error messages may be either on the XML-RPC layer
 or error messages reported as specified in the weblogUpdates.ping
 specification (when flerror == true).

 The error count for each service and the last error message is saved in
 the option ping_errors. If a successful ping is done, any previos errors
 are cleared.

 On the settings page where the update services are listed, all update
 services that have failed the last three times or more are displayed. This
 allows a service to be temporarily down without being listed.


 This is my first contribution to Wordpress, so please bear with if I don't
 follow the coding guidelines etc. I am not a regular Wordpress user
 myself, but a lot the users pinging my site are, and this is why I have
 written this patch :-)
