Some people have been having trouble trying to pay via our PayPal option. For some reason, their credit cards are not getting verified and authorized.

I was on the phone with PayPal tech support for a couple hours trying to resolve the issue. PayPal has no answer except "try another credit card." So, I told them I'd try another credit card processor --- Google Checkout.

Due to some recent hacking attempts on the servers directed at FrontPage, and numerous defacings of websites on other servers using FrontPage, Seven Sages has removed all of Microsoft's dangerous exploitable FrontPage extensions.

It seems some emails from Yahoo.com addresses have been getting marked as SPAM a lot. Obviously, we don't want to block any valid emails from friends and business contacts who might be using Yahoo for email.

I said I'd see what I could do.

Last year, Microsoft announced they will no longer support FrontPage Extensions for UNIX/Linux servers. (Seven Sages runs Linux on it's servers). Microsoft stopped their support in June 2006.

We have been supporting the extensions as long as possible, cautious of security and support issues. As the Internet community has no plans of offering support, and Microsoft itself has discontinued the FrontPage product even for Windows, Seven Sages will no longer support FrontPage.
