Ray can correct me if I am wrong, but it appears to me that the image Ray identified as problematic is very, very large. Perhaps if you were to resize it and make it smaller, and then to upload that smaller image, that would help?

The site is loading quickly for me; are there particular pages where you are finding the page loads to be slow? And has this issue been going on for a while or is it something that just started happening?

A few thoughts:

1. What do you mean by “pull tweets into CBOX”? Are you thinking of something like what we have on the CUNY Academic Commons ( https://commons.gc.cuny.edu/twitter/ ), which pulls tweets from hashtags, user accounts, and lists onto a page, or are you hoping to have tweets feed into group feeds and notifications?

No, CBOX is not a “dead architecture,” nor is it “junk.” Two people have replied to your message here, but the people on this forum represent a fraction of the developers who could potentially help you.

Yes, you can use CBOX in commercial contexts. You just can’t sell the code
that powers the software, as it is protected under a GPL license.

Did you by any chance copy and paste the text for your post into the
WordPress visual editor from a Microsoft Word document? If so, try to use
the “Paste from Word” feature in the toolbar. And you can edit the
gobbledly-gook code from post itself using the WP post text editor (instead
