[wp-testers] Trackbacks and Pingbacks in 2.7.*

[Kim Parsell]

Something that I noticed different with trackbacks/pings in 2.7.*:

I wrote an article updating the listing all of the plugins that I use 
back in January using WP 2.7.

The original article (using WP 2.5 and written last May) sent pings to 
all of the blogs linked to, and the list of blogs successfully pinged is 
in the Trackbacks/Pings section for that post.

The updated article only shows that it successfully pinged the first 
blog linked and ignored the rest of them, even though some of them were 
originally linked to in the first article and pinged successfully.

Is that also a part of the issue with cron or a change in behavior?
