[pmwiki-users] Site.Blocklist

[[] Jamie]

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?
