Latest version of PMWiki (well, downloaded about 3/4 weeks ago).
You can try any of the pages at
http://www.followtheboat.com/pmwiki/pmwiki.php?n=Main.Main
And the blocklist page is the same as PMWikis - Site.Blocklist
It wouldn't be anything to do with me being logged in as administrator
would it?
