 * Dear All,
 * I hope someone can help me to resolve this issue. Everything was working fine
   until yesterday and I’m having this problem after updating new Pinnion question.
   I use Pinnion plug-in to ask questions and my blog visitors answers the questions.
 * I have tried following steps to resolve but it wasn’t helpful :
 * 1. Deleted last Pinnion question and went back to previous question and it didn’t
   help
    2. Created a new page on wordpress blog and then posted only old question
   which was working and it didn’t help 3. Created new Pinnion account and tried
   posting questions and it didn’t help
 * Please can someone help me on this one? Here is the link to my blog :

 * To replicate the problem : Please select one answer and click on continue.
 * Many thanks in advance.
 * Cheers,
    DV

 * The first step, when you have a problem with a plugin, is to turn off that plugin.
   See if it’s something that went weird with it.
 * If that solves the issue, then we can start poking around your DB to see if we
   can delete the bad questions.
