[thelist] Wordpress 2.5 theme error

[Jeffrey Barke]

Thanks, Trevor--turns out the Adhesive plugin is broken in WP 2.5. I  
didn't catch it at first, because no errors are thrown and the  
(semi-)correct results are returned per page, but the wonky behavior I  
noticed was due to the way it hooks into the $wp_query object.
