Thank you guys and/or Thomas for the quick code update.
It appears you have already updated the code with version 2.5.9 to remove the code I was referencing above.
I just downloaded the newest code and did a search, but could not find anything referencing a feed at thomasgriffin.io.
The Soliloquy Slider is now back to being fast again. I no longer have to worry about commenting out line 86 of the code with each time Soliloquy is updated. I really appreciate this quick change. Thanks for your wonderful slider!
