How the new comment system will work – the idea is that there will be a minimum of disruption
You may not even notice the change. At least, that’s what my research indicates.
For previous commenters, as long as you use the name and email address you’ve used here right along, you should be grandfathered in and have no problem whatsoever.
New commenters will have their first comment held in moderation until I approve it. After that, it should be smooth sailing for them, too.
I probably will make the switchover some time this weekend. I’ll announce it at the time. Let me know through an email if you encounter any difficulties when it happens. No regular commenter should have any trouble with the transition, but you never know with these things.
Good morning! Just testing the new comment system. By the way, first time I tried to visit the site today, got “Too Many Requests”.
Edit: OK, that seems to work.
ditto, though the time span was brief, perhaps 15 min
bof:
The system isn’t in place yet. Sometime this weekend is when I plan to do it.
I hope you mean our most recent email as I changed mine 5-6 years ago. It is a valid email with my real name in it.
Chases Eagles:
Either should work.
Oops. “Some time this weekend”, right there in your post. I am a careless reader. Sorry about that!
I was sock-puppeted by zaphod and all I got was this lousy t-shirt lol
I certainly hope it works for all involved (except spammers)!
Test, because I have used two different email addresses. Same userid, but different domains.
I couldn’t read the Comments for this post this morning; the error message said I was using a VPN, but I wasn’t. I *could* read other posts’ Comments.
Selfy:
The VPN message was doing it to me as well and when i turned off my VPN it didn’t necessarily back off. That message/tool seems a bit twitchy but
“barely an inconvenience.”
