After recently announced update of Sites module we received a bucketload of complaints about the way ShrinkTheWeb service has been provisioned. The problem was that STW used to (yeah!) show site screenshots with a link to their own site when their free screenshot service is used. Not anymore...

Now it appears they know 7.1 will work and is on the horizon

Unfortunately, spammers forced us to implement some much stricter controls on registrations. Every time we loosened it a little, new spam accounts would be created (100+ per day, in some cases!). Keep in mind these are actual humans who type in the reCatpcha and everything. So we had to get really specific. Sorry see more
