Hello.
I hope this is the right place to ask this.
I recently set up a links indexing script on my site called WSN links. (script home page http://www.wsnlinks.com/)
It seemed to be running perfectly until I went "live" with it. Most of my site visitors are not able to view it. This is odd because it loads fine for me, and a couple other people have been able to view it and register to add their links, etc. But for the majority, it loads a blank page.
Here is the script on my (remotely hosted) server:
http://www.greenerpastures.us/link/
I posted about this on the script's home page support forum, and they didn't really offer a solution to my problem. Here is the thread I posted, and their replies.
http://www.webmastersite.net/forums/index.php?showtopic=2866
They said that they thought another index file was loading instead of the script's index.php, but I don't see how it would do that.
Can anyone help me figure out what the problem is please?
