commenting was down for a bit…

…but should be back to normal again.

I may have to think about moving to a system like Disqus. Spammers may have been behind the Account Suspended situation earlier: they can crash a site like this one even if their comments never get posted, sort of like a Denial of Service attack.

And once again I’ve spent an entire afternoon doing things other than making content. *sigh*

share and enjoy
               
If you haven’t commented here before, your first comment will be held for MaryAnn’s approval. This is an anti-spam, anti-troll, anti-abuse measure. If your comment is not spam, trollish, or abusive, it will be approved, and all your future comments will post immediately. (Further comments may still be deleted if spammy, trollish, or abusive, and continued such behavior will get your account deleted and banned.)
If you’re logged in here to comment via Facebook and you’re having problems, please see this post.
PLEASE NOTE: The many many Disqus comments that were missing have mostly been restored! I continue to work with Disqus to resolve the lingering issues and will update you asap.

I don’t want to worry you but I suscribe to a lot of threads and I am not getting any emails through – anyone else having this problem

In other news Camille Pagila is writing a profile of Lady Gaga for the Sunday Times that should be a laugh a minute!

When did you stop receiving them?

I think moving to Disqus is a great plan. Lifts the heavy stuff off your server and has an easy way to login/moderate comments.

Hard to say as my trash has completely emptied itself (I usually read them and delete them) but the last one I have sent out to me in my inbox was 31 August – I’d only worry about it if other people are complaining.
