Cindi,
I just wanted to make sure you saw that you have a response to your comment about the FCG plugin in your theme.

Try to think what new plugins you have installed lately, especially the ones that use java script libraries (Prototype, jQuery, etc). The Gallery use MooTools library. It is most likely to be a conflict with one script. Deactivate the plugins one by one and see if the gallery start working again (preferred refreshing the page by holding the shift key in firefox). Or might be the snapshots ads. Now you can determinate what causes the Gallery to crash and you can go to the site of the guys from FCG and they have a forum called “Development, Improvement, and Conflicts” and they give solutions as well.

I have the Revolution Lifestyle theme which has been modified. My Featured Content Gallery plugin stopped working recently. I have no clue why – it was the favorite part of my blog. Nobody can figure out why. I’ve tried to get answers from the FCG Support forum, but nothing.

John,
Thanks for taking the time to come over here and comment. Like I said about Brian’s response, I think the way people deal with problems is actually more indicative of their character and their business model than the fact that the problems arise to begin with.
You both chose to respond with integrity and offer an apology and both of your responses to this has impressed me.
Thank you.

I am the “J” being mentioned in the post above. As I have done with Miss Blondie, I would like to apologize for any miscommunication in this issue. We fill two roles as volunteers at StudioPress, that of moderator and that of paid designer. Sometimes these roles get crossed especially in email correspondence. I erroneously assumed that Miss Blondie had gone over all the tutorials for setting up the FCG Plugin and needed professional help. When I got her email expressing her concern about being charged, I immediately told her there would be no charge and that I like happy, satisfied customers. Upon reflection, reviewing the emails, and thinking about this situation I should definitely have been more clear in my communication. That would have made things much easier on all involved. Again, my goal was to help Miss Blondie and have yet another satisfied person saying good things about StudioPress and me. It was never about the $60. I am an honest guy who has built my business on fair pricing and satisfied customers and I am very upset that my miscommunication would upset so many people. Furthermore, Brian Gardner and StudioPress have nothing to do with me and my communication (other than to say, “You’re an idiot” which I was…). Brian is an awesome man of integrity and neither one of us would do anything to upset a customer. I hope this helps. Once again, I apologize for any miscommunication.

Maybe they thought senior moderator meant super old dude they keep on the payroll. :-)
