I was not using widgets.When I set the system up originally, I just added places and they showed up automatically. I then disabled the system because it was breaking the revision history. When I reenabled it the other day, the page was no longer loading. I now see all sorts of GD things in the widget area. It must have been that the settings in the widgets were erased during the 2 months since I started the project.
Any ideas on why I cannot see my revisions?
