perplexed

i don't seem to be able to access a few of your blogs, let alone comment in them...it seems that unless i add the prefix of "www." to your address, i'll keep receiving error messages that the requested link is not found. some blogs are also looking really weird. i swear something odd is happening!!! eeek.

also ... i still can't work out how to get the "remember personal info" option in the comment pop-up of my blog to actually work. for some yet unknown bizarre reasons... your info. is just not rememebered and so you'd have to keep typing it in everytime .... sorry for the annoying bug.... i looked over the default template in the MT-website but found no apparent discrepancies. hmm. sehr doof.

does anyone have any ideas?


Monday, 17th May UPDATE

i think i fixed my comment bug (please let me know if it still doesn't work for you!).... it's goodbye to popup... sob.... hopefully it will also stop this crazy gjhghi@..... person from spamming me with "small penis enlargements"--- i mean if these twatty spammers could actually get their targets right... i would at least be a bit impressed.... but of course they are spammers... and not targetters! grrrr.

i also seem to be able to access your blogs alright... so perhaps it's just some server problems on this side of the world... utterly bizarre.

oh, how do you do this? i.e. no pop-up?

oh... i got help from elise.com, the link which Van forwarded to us sometime ago.... going into the category of 'Security' on the side, there is the link titled "concerning spam"... there are lots of things one can do... i picked the one which suggested to rid the popup option of the comment window which is No. 3 from "How do you fight spam on your blog?" in her list. under that section, she offers the new script lines to replace the popup code in the main index template. give it a try! good luck!

*Note: in case you were thinking of leaving a comment and the option isn't here anymore... it is because the comment section of each entry is closed after sometime to prevent malicious comments... if you are looking for the actual entry, type in the keyword(s) in the little box on the main page http://overacuppa.com where it says "fossicking pebbles & seashells" and press *search*... thank you for popping by and happy browsing!
