New IP for everyone to ban -- 67.18.92.229

My archives got hit today, and it looks like the archives for this site are getting hammered as well.

IMPORTANT EDIT: The guy whose email address is being used knows nothing about the spamming. I've been in email contact with him -- he knows someone is using his email address, but it's not his IP. Don't threaten to kill him or anything.

I had completely forgotten what HTML to use -- and where to put it -- to enlarge my blog title text. In addition, if I wanted to substitute an image in place of the regular blog title text, where would the image HTML be placed in the main page template?

Thanks much in advance.

UPDATE (1519 EST): Figured it out (changing fonts and sizes for my title banners, that is) after much playing. Think knowing where to place this code will eventually clue me in on where to place proper image code when time comes.

I've decided to try looking for a bottom-of-the-line Java hosting service. Does anyone want to warn me away from ServerSea Hosting? They seem to be based in India, but are clearly trying to hide it, which makes it hard for me to find out anything about them, and me wary. On the other hand, I have been chatting with their support, and they seem very good. It's so cheap ($4.99/month) that I'm not too worried about it not working for technical reasons, but I am worried about credit card/domain/etc. problems.

Anybody have a counter suggestion? I need Java + mySQL. I found ServerSea from GoogleAds.

UPDATE: Next best seems to be Oxxus for more than 3 times the price (but you get a lot more bandwidth and memory - much more than I need at the moment).

UPDATE: Okay, my current favorite is eApps.

Hi.

I want stuff.

And I want some stuff for my blog too.

For starters, I'd like to know how some people get those randomized phrases to appear at the very top of their browsers (where it says "blah blah blah - Mozilla Firefox/IE/etc.).

I think that's neat.

Secondbrucelee, I'd like to know how I can make an image randomize. In the lower left hand corner of my b-l-o-g you will find a happenin' pizlace called the "Kuffar Korner." I currently have an image there----but I actually have 4 or 5 images that I would like to randomly appear in that locale whenever my homeizzle is refreshed.

Can you dig it?

I know, I just KNOW I had another pregunta para mis Munuvianos, pero no recuerdo.. ¡maldito sea!

thanks!

UPDATE!: Now I remember the last question!

So you know how MT has that whole "Extended entry" deal goin'on for when you have long posts, right?

Well I don't like the way it works.

I've seen cats (I believe fellow Munuvians, too) whose extended entries function like this:

--1) Rather than loading the permalinkified archived post in its entirety in a new window (or the same one, whatever), it merely expands the post right then and there. You can click "continue the post...." and "hide this post!" all you want until the cows come home and it doesnt take you away from the main blog page.

--2) Instead of having it say "Continue reading (Name of Post)...", I've seen it where you can customize what it says.

¡Gracias para todo su ayuda, amigos! (Thanks for all your help, buuuudiiieees!)
(both said with a thick Pauley Shore accent)

Does anyone know of a program/website which can check the code on our sites and either fix it, or provide a list of errors?

Posted by: Mark N at 12:41 PM | Comments (17) | Add Comment | Trackbacks (Suck)

I'm not sure if many others are having this problem, since most MuNus are on 2.6, unlike myself. I'm getting emails each day from irritated would-be commentors that I've supposedly blocked them for 'questionable content.' Even most times when I want to comment on my own blog, I have to simply type 'hello' and add my comment through my MT interface. Is there any way to clean out some of the blacklist entries, or is this impermissible?

Another question - if this is just an unsolvable problem, can I add a comment script onto my blog, or will that totally screw the MuNus up....as far as a spam attack. I don't hear many complaints from bloggers who use Haloscan and the like (concerning spam, that is).

I'm about to just shut my comments off out of frustration....I know that in the grand scheme of life, it's not such a big deal. Yet this mystifies me, and it makes me want to either shut off comments or figure out how to fix it;-)

Posted by: Sadie at 07:23 AM | Comments (25) | Add Comment | Trackbacks (Suck)

1 Yes. Everyone has access to the Blacklist, and you can remove words like 'hello' if they get in there. In fact, if anyone notices something like that, please go right ahead and zap it.

I think that the spammers have started adding things to deliberately poison MT Blacklist this way.

Posted by: Pixy Misa @ at July 11, 2005 07:41 AM

2 Pixy... since Sadie's running MT 3.1, isn't she running off a different blacklist? Or has the 3.1 blacklist been ported to the same one the rest of use?

Sadie... the comment refusal should say what the content was that was refused? If so, post that here & we can look for what's causing it. It's often a problem that a short text snippet has been accidentally added and is catching almost everything. For example, I've fixed Blacklists that had 'it' and 'http' entered in them by mistake.

Posted by: sadie @ at July 11, 2005 08:49 AM

10 The one I zapped was put in by Pixy on the 5th of June - probably during the last spam-storm when he was too swamped to inspect each individual entry.

The one that took down comments on Saturday morning had an unclosed ][ which Blacklist saw as a broken regexp and promptly fainted, taking the comments cgi with it. I'm going to see if Blacklist 2 has the same weakness, in which case I'll mention it to Jay Allen.

These fuckers are getting even more devious.

13 Tilesy, I've got a "how to" on safely using the Blacklist on the go right now. Just got swamped with a whack of tech-support calls, so it may be a day or so 'til I can finish & post it, but watch this space for the tutorial.

16 The only kind of comments I ever get are from people who constantly disagree with me. Generally liberals douchebags who want me to stop bashing on Obama, or Atheists who like to tell me that I'm psychotic for "worshipping magical men in the sky" (yes I got told that once.) So, all I attract are trolls.

My site looked fine until I put some posts out. Now if I put out more than 2 posts I get this:

I have no clue what I did to cause this. Yes I did mess around with the template and the master. HELP Please!!! I was hoping to announce my move to mu.nu today, but not with it looking like this. Any assistance is appreciated. I did try a stare and compare to the original, but I can't see what I did wrong. thanks again.

pixymisa.net is currently down, but should be fixed tomorrow.
pixymisa.com should be working, but it does some strange things with redirections, so the Bigpond account is probably your best bet.

Hi kids.

What happened was this: I'm in the middle of moving house. On Friday I got the phone lines connected at the new place. An hour later, they disconnected the line at the old place. I'm still at the old place, and will be for another week, so this was ungood. I got the phone re-connected, but ADSL doesn't work any more, and it will take a week to fix... Which would be kind of pointless.

So now I'm on dial-up. Yay. Of course, the dial-up installation process died, so I spent fifteen minutes on the phone to... uh, to Telstra (yeah, I know), who couldn't fix it because it was Windows problem, but once I knew it was a Windows problem and that my account was okay I was able to beat it to death with a stick and here I am!

Yay! (For real this time.)

And many thanks to Paul. My brother got Susie's emails, so I knew about the comment problem, and that it had been fixed, otherwise I would have been here earlier.

I got comments working again, 'cause hey, we couldn't have Bou getting all famous 'n shit without comments!

Fortunately, Eric's post that Christina mentioned included a copy of the error code. Since I don't have administrator permissions, I assumed there was nothing I could do to help, but Eric's post alerted me to the fact that it was a Blacklist problem, which I could edit and correct. Turns out it was a malformed Blacklist entry that had recently been added. I'm betting the cacksacker that sent the original comment did it on purpose to screw up comments intentionally.

Clearly the time is past due for a basic tutorial on how to safely use the Blacklist. I'll work one up and post it tomorrow.

Meantime... comment away.

Pixy is moving and his internet is down, so he can't get email! I emailed his brother that the comments are down and asked him to pass it along to Pixy. In the meantime, I guess we can just ride it out, or post about it and whine a lot (I vote for the latter)

Hello All.

I was just alerted by my blogPop that my comments are not working.

I tried it on my site then on Eric's and we are presently without ability to comment.

Thanks,

I ran across this little Javascript last night and thought I'd share it with everyone.

This script will load a different stylesheet based on the reader's screen resolution. The code looks fairly simple and straight-forward. You will have to build different stylesheets and either name them the same as the current variables, or change the variables to match your stylesheet names.

I haven't tested it yet, but anything I've used from this source has worked as advertised.

I put links to different stylesheets into Eric's and Herbey's blog templates so that readers at 800x600 screen resolution could view the site with 2 columns instead of the 3 column design used for the default template. I think with this script, it would have been a much easier process.

I'd be interested if anyone tries this to see how it works out.

I've been forced to disable trackbacks temporarily; the spam has been so bad this past hour that Fluffy the Spam Watchdog couldn't keep up. 71 trackbacks in ten seconds after I turned it on. That uses up all the system's memory and it grinds to a halt.

Oh great, comment spam coming in. Back in a tick.

Okay, it looks like that all got blocked. Take a look at the activity log if you like. I cleared it out about twelve hours ago, so it only has about 4000 entries in it so far.

Posted by: Pixy Misa at 05:37 PM | Comments (16) | Add Comment | Trackbacks (Suck)

I've given myself edit permission on everyone's blog, because without that I can't automatically remove spam for you. If you're happy to look after spam yourself and/or don't want me to have access, you can remove my permission again.

I was just taking a look at the database and realised that there was a lot of spam that was never getting removed - and this was why. I wish I had better anti-spam tools - surface-to-surface missiles, say, with stupid-seeking warheads, but for now MT Blacklist is it.

2 Might be worthwhile to look at this.

Posted by: David Boxenhorn @ at July 05, 2005 02:38 PM

3 Yep, that's what it is. This is the cure. Except that as Wins of Change found out, CPanel keeps doing the upgrade - apparently even if you turn off automatic updates. Grrr!

Posted by: Pixy Misa @ at July 05, 2005 05:10 PM

4 Poke.

Posted by: Pixy Misa @ at July 05, 2005 05:15 PM

5 Yep. The problem is two Perl modules that were updated over the weekend. CPanel automatically applies updates to certain modules, including these two, and they break Movable Type. The fix, found here, is to downgrade those two modules. Unfortunately, if you do that, CPanel automatically updates the modules again, apparently even if you tell it not to.

Posted by: Pixy Misa @ at July 05, 2005 05:18 PM

6 Ah, so it did save my comment. Well and good.

Just to make things more interesting, we are getting hit by a massive trackback spam flood. Trackbacks are turned off for the next few hours, because it's so bad that when I turn them on, the server collapses under the load within ten seconds.

The watchdog checks for spam floods every ten seconds, but it seems that's no longer enough.

Posted by: owlish @ at July 05, 2005 11:03 PM

8 A dumb question for Pixy - how much of our spam level has to do with the fact that the MT comments are run on CGI files? Would it necessarily be better if these were PHP-ified, or would it make no difference?

Posted by: sadie @ at July 06, 2005 11:04 PM

9 It would likely run better if PHP-ified. But then they'd probably just send us more spam.

Posted by: Pixy Misa @ at July 07, 2005 06:48 AM

10 Owlish - I advise you to sacrifice that hamburger to the flames at once! Then bury the remains under a pile of lettuce, onion, tomato, cheese, bacon, pickles, beetroot, pineapple, fried egg and tomato sauce. Bun optional.

(That's an Aussie "hamburger with the lot", by the way.)
