on comments…

Posted on Thursday 18 October 2012

This blog has been randomly [I thought] holding comments. I have looked in the comments settings many times, trying to figure out what’s going on. Today I noticed something called "discussion" in the settings. Sure enough, the item "email me when a comment is held for moderation" wasn’t checked. And there was a setting that said "Hold a comment in the queue if it contains 2  or more links. [A common characteristic of comment spam is a large number of hyperlinks.]" So I checked the box to email me for held comments and set the number of links to 8. That setting category is new, and I now recall my helpful daughter updating my software recently. I just never saw the new "discussion" part. My bad. If you make a comment now, it should appear promptly. And if it has more that 7 links, fear not because it will email me that the comment is there. Sorry for the inconvenience…

Sorry, the comment form is closed at this time.
