Just now, about an hour ago or so, I noticed my blog was down... i.e. ugly nasty ASP.NET yellow screen.  So I set out to quickly investigate and determine the root cause of the problem, and that I did.

Suddenly, for now reason at all.. literally.. I was getting a "Input string was not in a correct format." error

Nothing changed, nothing, nothing... unless my system was somewhat compromised... so WTF??

My temporary solution was to disable that extension (by moving the .cs file out of the extensions folder in the App_code directory, out to another folder).

I will need to further dig into this, unless it is something so evident that I am missing and that my currently fried brain is not processing correctly.
