Neat New Things

Still no action on the activity log after 24 hours. I'm beginning to think the new version of MT doesn't keep track of denied comments. There have been a few attempted spams on our blogs in the past 24 hours, but none of them were posted. It seems that if an unregistered user tries to comment on an entry older than a couple of weeks back and it isn't just denied out-of-hand because it contains a blacklisted string or URL, MT-Blacklist v2.04 automatically sends it via email for moderation before allowing it to appear. I guess I need to dig through the MT-Blacklist docs a little more deeply to find out what other surprises are in store, but so far, me likey.

Comments

Comments on entries can only be made in pop-up windows while those entries are still on the main index page. Sorry for the inconvenience this causes, but this blocks about 99.99% of the spam the blog receives.
