   BTW, just got off the phone with their GM, really nice guy, sounds like they are definitely going to be fixing this up for us and more generally... mucho relieved.

We've been happy customers of their for years, hopefully…

   What are the risks of this? there was an article(1) a while back which went through the google hits of "free wordpress themes" which had either base64 obfuscated js code directly in the theme code. What are the chances of code allowing other attack vectors? (1) - http://wpmu.org/why-you-should-never-search-for-free-wordpre...
