For those experiencing problems commenting, please be patient. I'm trying to figure out how to turn off typekey authentication, but even with all the settings saying it's not required, it still says it's required and reroutes everyone to typekey. It's becoming very frustrating.
Update: Okay, the techs figured out the problem. Typekey is now gone, at least for now. We'll see how much spam we'll end up getting. If it comes back big, I'll put typekey authentication back on. A couple important points. They've now installed spam blocking software that prevents spam from even reaching the Movable Type program. That means that they won't show up in my "junk comments" box or in the "unpublished comments" box, so if you post a comment that doesn't show up I may not be able to rescue it. If that happens, you will see a screen like this:
Sorry, there has been an error. More info.
If you try and submit a comment and you get that result, please email me with the text of the comment so that we can tweak the settings on the spam blocking software to prevent that from continuing. It's important that you send the actual text because it may be a single word that triggers the spam designation. So after you post a comment, check and see if it shows up.
This is a test.
No more typepad?
