I lost bandwidth and the notice is up. Can that be corrected Pixy? Thanks!

Another server meltdown - the other server, this time.

Migration to shiny new non-melty server is still on track for this Sunday.

Update: Aargh. A series of minor glitches combined to throw out my schedule. Move postponed until Sunday 23rd.

Can anyone help me with the old three-column set-up? I've read the stuff linked here, but I'm woefully uncertain of my ability to implement it.

I'm sort of at the limit of HTML/CSS/etc abilities when I figured out how to change the colors on the site and put a pair of flags in the banner, so yeah, not capable of figuring it out myself.

Sorry about that outage. The server melted. Probably spammers again, but hard to tell, what with the server being all melty.

We will be moving to a new, less melty server next Sunday! There will be a couple of hours of confusi-time, where posts and comments might be saved but not show up immediately, that sort of thing. But since we are staying at the same hosting company, just moving to a larger box, the process will be a lot quicker and easier than previously.

I'll post more details later today.

Also later today: Minx.

1 So new server and Minx are not the same? :|

Posted by: Ogre @ at September 11, 2007 01:42 AM

2 New server are hardware; Minx are software.

Posted by: Pixy Misa @ at September 11, 2007 01:48 AM

3 Well, I was hoping the new hardware would come with some shiny new software...

Posted by: Ogre @ at September 11, 2007 11:40 AM

4 I hope everything will go off swimmingly!

Mark did it again! He blacklisted bqkpwypi.com]gptzbwbc[ and the open brackets screwed up the blacklist.

Please...someone find Mark and take him behind the shed!

Have received a few emails from people trying to comment and getting this:

An error occurred:
Invalid [] range "d--" in regex; marked by <-- HERE in m/-4-you.info|-com.com|-mobile-phones.org|-site.info|.+diamond.+os.com|.+shemale.com|.a-scuba-school.com|.bg.de|.biz|.blackjack-21.ws|.blackjack-p.com|.blackjack-strategy.ws|.casino-games.co.il|.casino-online-i.com|.casino-royale.ws|.cheapativan.com|.chuanqisf.cn|.cn|.cut-jobs.info|.debt-help-bill-consolidation-elimination.com/|.diabetic-care-supplies.com|.gambling-casinos-trx.com|.hbsnwa.org|.imxafterclub.com|.jobsearchlegal.com|.juegos-de-casinos-es
. at extlib/jayallen/Blacklist.pm line 3098.

Thing is, they are legitimate commenters with legitimate comments that don't refer to any of those things.

I got it myself when I tried to post a test comment, and I know that I'm a non-offender.

Blacklist problem?

Server problem?

Did someone add in open brackets to the MT Blacklist? I'm getting weird messages whenever I try to comment on any MuNu blog. Message fragment:

I know that spammers love the word "free" but since I blog about things like "freedom" could we please take the word "free" out of the thingie that makes the comments go boom?

Please?

Do I have access to the cgi-bin directory to my blog? If so, how can I go about editing one of the files? I have a small tweak to make to slow down my deluge of comment spam.

AN email reply would be fine, as it probably wouldn't do to have everyone else access MuNu's stuff.

Thanks.

Mark blacklisted "http:" !

Please...if anyone knows who Mark is, ask him to be careful what he blacklists!!!!!

Posted by: Susie at 04:17 PM | Comments (118) | Add Comment | Trackbacks (Suck)

Ya know, I believe we might block a good amount of the spam comments that have hit us over the last couple of months by blocking this phrase:

"ite. Thank"

That'll cover all the "good site. Thanks." and "great site. Thank you." and numerous variations that I've been getting hit with (and I assume y'all have been too).

That's a space between the period and the capital T, if that matters.

I don't know enough about the blacklist to add this myself, so someone else could add this if it'll help.

Blacklisted: gpiuonvo.com]fysqvfaq[

How do I find him to let him know that open brackets are a no no?

This is GM Roper reporting: I am the author of GM's Corner and an erstwhile blogger who acknowledges that he is not too wise or knowledgeable when it comes to the management of his blog and html and css and all that mystical stuff that Pixy Misa is the acknowledged master of and my blogging hero! I do know that I don't know enough to make sure when I "blacklist" I don't blacklist the wrong thing so I don't blacklist anything. Having said that, I also acknowledge that there are those out there who know even less than I because

they keep blacklisting open bracket stuff.

One spot left for Blogger Bowl 2007! Let me know if you want to play!

Ummm, Susan R, whoever you are, PLEASE watch what you blacklist. Comments went down AGAIN because of open brackets in the blacklist.

Everyone, please watch what you blacklist, and if you have no idea how it works, just DON'T.

Thanks!

BTW Big thanks to Teresa for showing me how to fix the blacklist!

Dear Pixy,

Please contact "Susan R" and explain to her that blacklisting anything with open brackets in it breaks the comments....

Love,

Susie

Posted by: Susie at 01:51 AM | Comments (61) | Add Comment | Trackbacks (Suck)

...because it broke the comments....
I think I fixed it (fingers crossed...)

1 is working now!

Posted by: caltechgirl @ at August 16, 2007 05:17 PM

2 You done good Susie! I totally missed that when I went looking. Mainly because Pixy had listed some pretty intricate looking stuff... it sidetracked me.

Posted by: Teresa @ at August 16, 2007 07:28 PM

3 YAY Susie!!

Posted by: Pixy Misa @ at August 17, 2007 09:16 AM

4 I am certainly thankful to you for providing us with this invaluable info. My spouse and I are truthfully grateful, precisely the computer data we needed.

It happens whenever anyone tries to post a comment on my site. Any insight would be greatly appreciated.
