Folks, it’s time to approach this topic head-on.
I refer here to the issues that several Readers have had with the Comments on this website — i.e. email addresses blocked, unable to re-register, etc. all with the end result that you are unable to post comments.
The problem appears to be with WordPress (hic delenda est), and neither I nor Tech Support II have been able to fix it.
I can only surmise that this is being caused by the old version of WordPress that I currently have installed, but I have to confess that I’m really nervous about upgrading because the last time I did so, all sorts of things changed and it took me about a week to fix it all up.
Nevertheless, I’m going to do the upgrade sometime over the next weekend in the hope that this will fix Comments, but I’m not too sanguine that it will. If everything gets fucked up as a result, please be patient with me.
In the meantime, if you absolutely want your comment published but your access has been nuked, please email it to me and I’ll pop it under the relevant post. Just put in the Subject line: Comment for post [title] and I’ll get to it as soon as I can.
I really miss my old website, but that software was compiled from scratch and maintained by Connie, and there’s absolutely no chance that it can ever be resurrected, more’s the pity.
Anyway… wish me luck.
Good luck!!!
WordPress does strange stuff. Your site always gives me a timeout error 524 when posting but it does post the comment.
Is that pic Kim going to Walmart?
Every time I post a comment, WordPress insists “You’ve already made that comment” so I back up and refresh the paged, and lo there is the comment I wanted to make.
I get the same issue – when I post a comment, nothing seems to happen. If I repost, “You’ve aready said that.” The comment does eventually appear after refresh.
