As most of you are probably aware, the Reader Comments subsystem is presently disabled – here’s a brief explanation of why, without giving too many details. We’ve received a few emails from people that aren’t quite clear on what the problem actually was, saying that people should only allow authenticated comments if they’re having problems…
It seems that the adult verification system caused an unexpected side effect. In order to remember which diary you were visiting when you hit a page that needs an adult ID, we store the diary name in a cookie. Unfortunately, by default, PHP (which the new secure comments system is written in) reads cookies and…
I have tried to reply to your e-mails – your AOL account replies with ‘This user is not accepting mail from this sender’. Please make sure, if you expect a reply from someone, that your AOL account is not set to block external mail! (That goes for anyone, not just the user named above of…
The proposed changes to the web server config file have now been made. It’s a fair bit more efficient in there now, and more importantly, I can actually (mostly!) read it. It was like a ruddy birds nest before! The httpd process size has dropped by about 1Meg (meaning it should scale a bit better)…
I had a brainwave and ran the optimiser across the tables in the database to clean them all up, sure enough, the machine hasn’t hit a load average of even 0.5 let alone 1.0 (it was going at over 25 previously). To give you an idea what that means, a load average of 1.0 means…
Jade actually did use the HELP button, I notice. But since I’ve been without net access for nearly three weeks I’ve not been able to answer it and clear up the backlog… My apologies, I shall get to that one shortly! Though its sort of superseded now 😉 Steve.
Really thanks for your hard working. I am very happy to get my diary ‘reborn’!!!
I never give up for this Deardiary, it is brilliant.
I have recently started using my rss feed reader in Firefox and the thing works great.
Glad you mentioned it to the group as I was thinking the same thing the other day!

I’ve been on Comcast.net for months and have never had a problem until you took the server down this last time. I’ve got my mail settings so that suspected SPAM goes into a folder that I can look at seperately and nothing is coming through there, either, from DD so I’m not sure that comcast is the problem. I’m going to go in to my diary and change the notify addy back to my old ISP just for giggles to see if it forwards. I’m aware that there can be security risks with RSS feeds so I’m not eager to jump on that bandwagon.
I’ll let you know if I get forwards from my old ISP. That might give you a clue one way or the other as to what’s going on.
Thanks for all your hard work. I know we can be a cranky and demanding bunch 😉

Steve,
Referring to my last comment: I just changed my e-mail and I’m getting notifies but I’m not sure why it took Comcast months to block them and why it coincided with your taking the server down this last time. I’ll bang my head against a brick wall and call Comcast next week because, as I’ve stated, the notifies should have gone to my SPAM folder not just been lost in space *rolls eyes*.
