Wow. Something so simple!! I followed your instructions for navigating to CB Privacy and saving configuration and the problem that had persisted for several days, went away entirely!! Amazing. Thank you, thank you, thank you...
Meanwhile... I keep working on reconstructing my site and reduced the number of fields by at least half. Everything is working much better and faster but I am having one more tiny issue with saving youtube video links? I ran this issue by JCE and they came to the conclusion that this new problem might he related to the CB saving method? Sine this is a new problem, I will open a new ticket. (
