[espkaruna]

[misericorde]

[tele955848]

Was mache ich falsch?
The requested URL /tags.php was not found on this server.

Muß ich hier was ändern?
$contentTypes = array(2=>'tags.php?tag=',15=>'blog.php?tag=');

[Doctor Death]

Doesnt work for me on 4.1.7, wish it did.

I had this working with no issues on 417 but after upgrading to 418 the cloud is off center to the right and rolling on to the center column. Any way to center this in the side widget.
