[wp-hackers] Where Can I Ask These Questions?

[andy] OK - I suspected that triggered it. I updated permalinks  
because of a change I made with the UTW path. Just weird that it  
wasn't there before as my last DB backup shows. Or.. is it just that  
phpMyAdmin doesn't see it? Certainly the row doesn't show up when I  
'browse' from phpMyAdmin so perhaps it doesn't include it in a sql  
dump either...

[andy] if you mean pastebin.com then it wont save it - they say they  
are having problems of some sort. I re-performed the 'update  
permalinks' to see if that sorted it and now it is truncated at a  
different spot but still seems to end where it shouldn't. Here are  
the last two lines broken out:

	s:45:"(why-bother)/feed/(feed|rdf|rss|rss2|atom)/?$";
	s:47:"index.php?pagename=$matches[1]

I assume that at least a double quote should be on the end. (Current  
row shows 552 semi-colon separated entries)

[andy] yes please! Even I would be more than willing to answer  
questions if able....
