I don't know if this is a bug, but in 9.1beta on the config page the two buttons delete and submit are both suddenly missing.
On the blog itself, the right sidebar is not being shown. It dies right here:
<!-- CONTENT END --></td>
<td id="serendipityRightSideBar" valign="top">
If something has suddenly become corrupted I can possibly fix it but I have no idea where to look in the db? I was able to install an HTML nugget "test" which I'd like to nuke now but I can't find it in the db.
thanks

Re: Configure plugins submit button disappeared!
(This has been talked over in a IRC chat session, the cause of the problem was a misbehaving Weather plugin)

As I told Garvin, I don't care much where in the chain this problem occurred, I just want to make damn sure it doesn't happen again on a production server. 
One always needs to beware of extensions that use external data, the weather plugin is only one example of many. The problem may be in PEAR or even in the server's local environment or network connectability. I think this last may have been the case for me because it was very sluggish at the same time. I suspected possible mysql and apache problems, but messing with these didn't help. However, even with Apache stopped, the response times were bad.
I'm also guessing writing plugins that can deal with a function never returning is not that trivial.
So, if you plan to write plugins that fetch external data, you need to imagine a case where the data times out, or is unavailable and a recovery that won't break the whole site.
