Go upgrade to the latest Bitshares Astro UI release!
https://github.com/BTS-CM/astro-ui/releases/latest
The [Bitshares Astro UI](https://github.com/BTS-CM/astro-ui) uses next-gen web technologies, establishing a from scratch replacement for the reference Bitshares user interface!
So what has changed in this latest release?
Temporarily remove external link to '.ws' blockchain explorer domain. Avoid fetching pool data from '.ws' URL, fetching from the blockchain instead. Temporarily disable the top featured markets page. Temporarily disable the recent activity page. Package version updates
The reason for this is that the ws domain expired and was hijacked, so until a new domain is setup for the explorer it has been removed fully from the project!
It's highly recommended that you upgrade to the latest version, because this ws domain was used in multiple scripts and also in multiple external links which have now been removed!
Moving forwards I'll try to replicate the recent activity page with blockchain api lookups
