Todd owes you a lot for helping them out once again and hopefully he will give you the credit and courtesy due! Can you imagine the "non"-response you would received if you tried to call that in to "technical support" ! @Michael – Outstanding catch!

I would say that they are less than upfront about it, and it's possible that the tech support telling people that they need to upgrade don't know what they are talking about. I know that in at least one instance that was the case. If you read the original post on this topic I discuss how the data that tech support is using to determine which version of software people are using is delivering inaccurate information. This isn't tech support's fault, it's a flaw in their system. @Eddie – I don’t know if they are lying.

Is this statement true, or am I missing something? I just want to clarify that what I’m about to say is true: Godaddy’s way of dealing with this problem is to shamelessly lie about it.

The truth makes the posturing demagogue look foolish. The truth is bad for big business. The truth gets in the way of selfish behavior. The truth makes the posturing demagogue look foolish.

We saw our Community Blog was running an older version, so we started the upgrade process. Due to the amount of customized code and the amount of traffic the blog receives, it's not live yet because we always make sure any upgrade is rock-solid before we deploy to our production environment. It's nearing the final stages and I expect it will deploy early next week. Todd Redfoot Chief Information Security Officer Good eye on the older version of WordPress. :-)
