[wp-hackers] WordPress 3.1 Requirements

[Philip M. Hofer (Frumph)]

Just to add;  ComicPress my theme works fine on other peoples php4 hosting, 
and not 1and1, has to use php5 on 1and1

http://comicpress.org/forum/viewtopic.php?t=3597&highlight=1and1

It is also a known fix to switch to php 5 on 1and1 as well for buddypress 
(or was at the time in prev. revisions of buddypress)
